Notification requirements are laid out in the act. The act contains a penalty provision for violations. The act allows for an individual to place security alerts and security freezes on their credit report, notifying any recipients of the report that the individual may have been a victim of identity theft, and prohibiting the release of the individual's information without the express consent of the consumer.
