What it covers
The first part applies to data collectors holding personal information of Nevada residents: secure destruction of records, reasonable security measures, encryption for data collectors that accept payment cards or move personal information outside their secure system, and notice to residents after a breach of the security of the system data. A later part applies to operators of internet websites and online services: they must post a notice of the covered information collected and must not sell covered information of a consumer who has opted out. The Attorney General enforces.
Why it matters
It combines one of the earliest US encryption mandates with Nevada's online privacy notice and opt-out-of-sale rules.
