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.
