A notifiable data breach happens when there is unauthorised access to, unauthorised disclosure of, or loss of, Personal Information which is likely to result in serious harm to the individual to whom the information relates.

Rights of individuals located in the European Union (EU): In addition to the Privacy Act, individuals located in the European Union (EU) may also have rights under EU based rules known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
