Common questions

Before you decide what to do

What is a data breach notification letter?

A data breach notification letter is a written notice from a company, health provider, employer, school, government agency, or vendor telling you that personal information connected to you may have been accessed, acquired, lost, or exposed without permission. It is usually sent because the organization believes the incident created a meaningful risk, or because a law required it to notify you. Keep the letter: it is the best starting point for understanding the particular incident.

Why did I get a data breach letter?

You received one because the organization’s records suggest that your information was included in the affected group. That can happen even if you are no longer an active customer or patient; organizations often retain historical records. Receiving a letter does not mean you did anything wrong, and it does not necessarily mean fraud has already happened. It does mean you should read the notice and take the specific precautions that fit the information involved.

Is a data breach notification letter real?

Many notices are legitimate, but you should independently verify any message before clicking a link, calling a number, or sharing information. Start with the organization’s official website or a number on a statement, card, or account portal you already use. You can also look for a public security notice or state attorney general filing. A real notice explains the incident; it should not pressure you to pay or demand your password, a verification code, or your full Social Security number.

Who sent the letter?

The sender is usually the organization that held your information. Sometimes a letter comes from a vendor, service provider, mailing administrator, or law firm acting for the organization. The notice should clearly identify the affected organization, explain what happened, and give a way to ask questions. If the sender feels unfamiliar, verify the relationship through a trusted, independently found contact method.
