What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Article 19 requires the responsable to inform the data subject immediately of a security breach occurring at any stage of processing personal data that significantly affects the data subject's patrimonial or moral rights, so the data subject can take the steps needed to defend their rights. The Law states no separate deadline measured in hours or days: immediacy of the breach itself is the period, and the duty runs to the affected data subject alone.

The Law states no duty to report a breach to the Secretaría; article 39 gives the Secretaría general investigative and sanctioning powers over compliance with this Law, but no provision requires a breach report to it specifically.
