[Chapter-delegates] ISOC approaches to privacy breach legislation?

[Christine Runnegar]

Dear Narelle,

Thank you for raising this topic. 

Let me join you in asking our Chapter members to share with us the approach their country and/or local region is taking regarding privacy breaches. 

This is a topic of discussion in Europe. I also understand that some countries in Latin America have introduced data breach notification provisions in their data protection law. Other countries may be taking a sectoral approach (e.g. for x industry), and still others currently have not enacted any rules/guidelines. I imagine we would find that there are a wide variety of approaches across the world.

What is the reaction across communities in Australia to the proposed legislation?

Regards,
Christine

BTW. The Australian Government Solicitor (AGS) has issued a short note on the proposed legislation (an "Express Law" publication) - http://www.ags.gov.au/publications/express-law/el190.html.
