Article 34:
Communication of a Personal Data Breach to the Data Subject
Data Sovereignty
Take into account appropriate safeguards, including encryption:
- the existence of appropriate safeguards, which may include encryption or pseudonymisation (4)(e)
Implement technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to risk, including:
- the pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data (1)(a)
Avoid notifying all affected individuals and potential fines if:
- the controller has implemented appropriate technical and organizational protection measures, and those measures were applied to the personal data affected by the personal data breach, in particular those that render the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorized to access it, such as encryption (3)(a)
The European Commission and Member States determine whether a third-country provides adequate protection; if not, strict regulations must be adhered to, and strong safeguards must be implemented.
