  • Give notice as soon as possible to each affected Wyoming resident once your investigation determines misuse of their personal identifying information has occurred or is reasonably likely.
  • Treat a biometric identifier used for authentication as personal identifying information here, whether or not it was derived from a photograph, video, or audio recording. No recording-derived exclusion exists in this cross-referenced definition.
  • Use substitute notice only when direct notice would exceed the statute's cost or class-size thresholds, which differ for a Wyoming-based versus an out-of-state entity, or when you do not have sufficient contact information.
