South Dakota Privacy & Data Security Laws
Every statute below can apply to a business handling South Dakota residents' data, depending on your revenue, the number of South Dakota consumers you process, and what kind of data you collect. This is a general reference, not a determination for your specific business — run the full questionnaire to see which of these actually apply to you.
Data Security & Breach Notification · 1
Requires notifying affected residents (and often the state AG/regulator) after a breach of unencrypted personal information such as SSNs, driver's license/state ID numbers, or financial account numbers. Applies regardless of company size whenever you hold covered personal information about a resident of this state.
Genetic Privacy · 1
Regulates direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies and/or genetic data generally — typically requiring express consent before collecting, using, or disclosing genetic data, and consent (or destruction) requirements for biological samples. Written consent required before use of genetic data; civil AG-driven penalty regime. No stable official deep link could be verified (SD's statute browser is JS-rendered) — recommend a manual check of sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/37-24 before treating this as fully confirmed.
