A controller must notify KZLD within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal-data breach, and notify the affected individual without undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk. Commentary adds a procedural detail, that KZLD maintains non-public breach registers and approved notification templates in Bulgarian only, which is a procedural addition rather than a substantive derogation from the 72-hour standard; no primary text was read.
What it asks of an app
- Notify KZLD within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal-data breach affecting a person in Bulgaria, and notify affected individuals without undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to them, using KZLD's own Bulgarian-language notification template.
