Notifiable Privacy Breaches
29. If Personal Information is involved in a privacy breach which TSA reasonably believes has caused or is likely to cause serious harm to an individual (a “Notifiable Privacy Breach”), TSA will (where appropriate) inform the affected individual(s) and recommend what steps should be taken in response. TSA will also report a Notifiable Privacy Breach to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. In respect of a Notifiable Privacy Breach, TSA will comply with the Privacy Act.
