BNBMTL maintains a register of any Privacy Incident, indicating the facts concerning the breach of personal information, the personal information subject to the Privacy Incident, its effects, the persons affected, and the measures taken to remedy it.

BNBMTL may also notify any person or organization likely to mitigate this risk, by communicating only the personal information necessary for this purpose. In this case, the Responsible Person must record the communication. Despite the foregoing in this paragraph, a person whose personal information is affected by the Privacy Incident does not have to be notified as long as it would likely impede an investigation by a person or body authorized by law to prevent, detect, or suppress crime or offenses.
