7. Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach, unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.
If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you without undue delay.
