<div style="direction:ltr;font-size:10pt;font-family:Courier New">
Babu,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>to your question on privacy breach legislation:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In Mexico the Data Protection law is relatively recent and thus quite advanced.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will ask for more details about an obligation for companies to inform publicly about data breaches. It is not in high visibility, to say the least.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>BUT: the law does impose severe fines on companies who break the law. Recently there have been several high profile cases against a store (pharmacy) for having a non-compliant privacy policy; a bank for using data from a prospective client who did not
become a client; a medical doctor for passing forward patient data.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And now there is what may become a landmark case. The CitizenLab at the University of Toronto, as you may know, has found evidence that the FinFisher software is hosted in two Mexican telcos/ISPs. A human-rights organization has gone to the institution
in charge of data protection with a lawsuit based on a very expansive article in the law, which allows third parties to ask for evidence of privacy breaches such as this. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are supporting this motion. I understand that Article 19 Mexico and other organizations will do so too.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is a great provision in the law so if you in Nepal begin to lobby for a privacy/data-protection law it would be of interest for you.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The lawsuit has just been filed so it's a long way to go to see if it's successful (shorter if it's dismissed after ten days, the first deadline.) </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am not aware of a firm position from ISOC HQ in favor of privacy breach notification; to the best of my knowledge that is fine, considering the vast diversity of legal systems, though it seems many of us do support establishing this kind of pressure
on companies handling personal data. Devil/details, Occam's razor, law of unintended consequences all over.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yours,</div>
<div><br>
</div>

wholesomely address some of these issues. However, there is still need for more strategy and awareness and to engage more stakeholders to address some of the emerging issues.</div>

Hi all<br>
<br>
what approaches has your country taken to privacy breach notification<br>
legislation?<br>
<br>
What is ISOC's position on whether this be mandatory or otherwise?<br>
<br>
We have proposed legislation, see:<br>
