Overview

A free Word form so employees or customers can tell you a personal-data incident happened. Keep the link on the intranet. It feeds the register; it does not replace your legal assessment of whether to notify.

License

For one organization's internal use. You may customize the files. You may not resell or redistribute them as products. They are starting documents or training clips, not legal advice, not a certification, and not a guarantee of compliance — have qualified counsel review them for your situation.
