As a result, Levy began a review of the data to determine what information had been impacted as well as identify the specific individuals affected.

However, according to state reporting guidelines, “personal information” can include the following types of information:

- Account number, credit card number or debit card number, if circumstances exist wherein such a number could be used without additional identifying information, access codes or passwords
