We take all reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from loss, unauthorised access, use, modification or disclosure, and against other misuse, in accordance with the Information Privacy Act 2009.

The CCC will assess whether the data breach meets the threshold for reporting under the Mandatory Notification of Data Breach (MNDB) scheme, and will provide timely advice to you about the data breach where appropriate to do so.
