Which one of the following elements of information is not considered personally identifiable information that would trigger most United States state data breach laws?

Answer Options

A

Student identification number

B

Social Security number

C

Driver's license number

D

Credit card number

Correct Answer: A

Explanation

Most state data breach notification laws are modeled after California's data breach notification law, which covers Social Security number, driver's license number, state identification card number, credit/debit card numbers, and bank account numbers (in conjunction with a PIN or password). These laws are separate and distinct from privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which regulates the handling of personal information more broadly.
