Data Breach Notification Policy
Effective Date: November 3, 2024.
Ensuring the security of personal data is a top priority at [Your Website Name]. In the event of a data breach, we are committed to responding promptly and transparently to minimise potential harm and comply with GDPR requirements. This policy outlines the steps we take in the event of a data breach to inform affected individuals and relevant authorities.
A data breach includes any unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss of personal data. Upon detecting a data breach, our response team immediately assesses the scope and impact of the incident. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will notify affected users without undue delay, ideally within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by GDPR.
The notification will include the nature of the breach, the type of data affected, the potential consequences, and measures we are taking to address it. Additionally, we will inform users of steps they can take to protect themselves from potential risks.
For incidents that meet the threshold of notifying a supervisory authority, [Your Website Name] will report the breach to the relevant data protection authority within the stipulated timeframe, following GDPR guidelines.
