Mandatory Privacy Breach Reporting - Get ready to hit the ground running
Mandatory Privacy Breach Reporting - Get ready to hit the ground running
To report, or not to report. Typically, the decision about privacy breach notification involves a careful weighing of the pros and cons of disclosure to the affected party(ies). A legal requirement to report is not yet part of the decision-making framework.
That is about to change. Privacy breach notification regulations passed under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (or PIPEDA, Canada's private-sector privacy law) are being finalized. Once that happens, mandatory breach notification will be upon us.
Will you be ready to handle your (and your clients') new responsibilities? If you have to ask, "what do I do now?", it's already too late.
This presentation will provide an overview of the pending mandatory privacy breach notification requirements, including:
- Who needs to notify?
- To whom must notification be given?
- When does the obligation to notify arise?
- When does the notification need to be sent?
- What needs to be said in the notification?
