NotifyUs is for organisations and businesses to work out if privacy breaches are notifiable and report them to us.
| If you are an individual with a privacy complaint involving your own or another person's personal information do not use NotifyUs, please go here. |
If you are an organisation and have a privacy breach that is likely to cause anyone serious harm, you are legally required to notify us and any affected persons as soon as you are practicably able to.
As a guide, our expectation is that a breach notification should be made to our Office no later than 72 hours after agencies are aware of a notifiable privacy breach.
Click the button below to help you determine whether your breach is notifiable or not.
If you have already determined that a privacy breach at your organisation is notifiable, or wish to notify us in any case, click on the 'Report a breach' button below to be taken to NotifyUs.
See a checklist of what information is required here.
Please note: NotifyUs works best with up-to-date internet browsers (e.g. Chrome, Firefox and Edge). We recommend not using legacy browsers with it (e.g. Internet Explorer and legacy Edge).
If you need to update a privacy breach report you previously submitted to us, you can:
