the various privacy laws that protect personal
information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information
Practices we will take the following responsive
action, should a data breach occur:

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle
which requires that individuals have the right to
legally pursue enforceable rights against data
collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the
law. This principle requires not only that
individuals have enforceable rights against data
users, but also that individuals have recourse to
courts or government agencies to investigate
and/or prosecute non-compliance by data
processors.
