The Pennsylvania law your Harrisburg buyers answer to

Breach of Personal Information Notification Act (73 Pa. Stat. § 2301 et seq.)

After a breach, companies must notify affected Pennsylvania residents without unreasonable delay. Breaches affecting more than 500 residents must also be reported to the Attorney General.

Why it matters for outreach: a question about the buyer’s Pennsylvania breach-notice obligations is more specific, and more local, than a general security pitch.
