The appointed person must create a record of the reasons for any delayed notification under this subsection 4.5. This record shall be stored as part of the personal data breach register of the company. 4.6 The company must keep the supervisory authority informed of changes in the facts ascertained by the company which affect any notification made under this section 4. 5. Notification to data controller 5.1 This section 5 applies to personal data breaches affecting personal data with respect to which the company is acting as a data processor. 5.2 The company must notify the affected data controller(s) of any personal data breach to which this section 5 applies without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after the company becomes aware of the breach. In addition, the company must comply with the provisions of the contract(s) with the affected data controller(s) relating to such notifications. 5.3 Personal data breach notifications to the affected data controller(s) must be made by the appointed person using the form set out in schedule 2 (Notification of personal data breach to data controller). The completed form must be sent to the affected data controller(s) by secure and confidential means. The appointed person must keep a record of all notifications, and all other communications with the affected data controller(s) relating to the breach, as part of the personal data breach register of the company. 5.4 To the extent that the company is not able to provide to the affected data controller(s) all the information specified in schedule 2 (Notification of personal data breach to data controller) at the time of the initial notification to the affected data controller(s), the company must make all reasonable efforts to ascertain the missing information. That information must be provided to the affected data controller(s), by the appointed person, as and when it becomes available. 6. Notification to data subjects 6.1 This section 6 applies to personal data breaches affecting personal data with respect to which the company is acting as a data controller. 6.2 The company must notify the affected data subjects of any personal data breach to which this section 6 applies if the personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, save as set out in subsection 6.4. 6.3 Personal data breach notifications to the affected data subjects must be made by the appointed person in clear and plain language using the form set out in schedule 3 (Notification of personal data breach to data subject). The completed form must be sent to the affected data subjects by appropriate means. The appointed person must keep a record of all notifications, and all other communications with the affected data subjects relating to the breach, as part of the personal data breach register of the company. 6.4 The company has no obligation to notify the affected data subject of a personal data breach if: (a) the company has implemented appropriate technical and organisational protection measures (in particular those that render the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorised to access it, such as encryption), and those measures have been applied to the personal data affected by the personal data breach; (b) the company has taken subsequent measures which ensure that a high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects is no longer likely to materialise; (c) it would involve disproportionate effort (in which case, there shall instead be a public communication or similar measure whereby the data subjects are informed in an equally effective manner), providing that the appointed person shall be responsible for determining whether this subsection 6.4 applies, and the appointed person must create a record of any decision not to notify the affected data subjects. This record should include the appointed person's reasons for believing that the breach does not need to be notified to the affected data subjects. This record shall be stored as part of the personal data breach register of the company. 6.5 If the company is not required by this section 6 to notify affected data subjects of a personal data breach, the company may nonetheless do so where such notification is in the interests of the company and/or the affected data subjects. 7. Other notifications 7.1 Without affecting the notification obligations set out elsewhere in this policy, the appointed person should also consider whether to notify any other third parties of a personal data breach. Notifications may be required under law or contract. Relevant third parties may include: (a) the police; (b) other law enforcement agencies; (c) insurance companies; (d) regulatory authorities; (e) financial institutions; (f) trade unions or other employee representatives; and/or (g) Leasing/Rental Companies. 8.
