Definitions

“Highly Regulated Data” means data subject to laws, regulations, or private industry standards that impose special requirements on the collection, storage, processing, or transmission of data about particular classes of people or particularly sensitive kinds of data about people, including but not limited to data subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, and European Union General Data Protection Regulation rules about special categories of personal data. Data subject to laws that apply only because the data relates to specifically identifiable people, such as the general GDPR provisions for “personal data” or California Consumer Privacy Act provisions for “personal information” more generally, are not Highly Regulated Data.
