Notifications to affected individuals will be made without undue delay after we become aware of a breach requiring notification. Notice may be provided via email to the last known email address we have on file for you, or through other appropriate communication channels. The notification will describe, in clear and plain language, the nature of the breach, the categories of information potentially affected, the likely consequences, the measures we are taking to address the breach and mitigate potential harm, and steps individuals can take to protect themselves.
