Pursuant to Order of the Personal Information Protection Commission, businesses handling personal information must report leaks, loss or damage and other situations concerning the security of the personal data they handle, which are prescribed by Order of the Personal Information Protection Commission as those likely to harm individual rights and interests, to the Personal Information Protection Commission; provided, however, that this does not apply to cases in which another business handling personal information or administrative entity has entrusted the business in question with all or part of the handling of the personal data, and it has notified that other business handling personal information or administrative entity of the situation as prescribed by Order of the Personal Information Protection Commission.
In cases prescribed in the preceding paragraph, businesses handling personal information (excluding those that have given a notice under the proviso of that paragraph) must notify the identifiable person of the occurrence of the situation, pursuant to Order of the Personal Information Protection Commission; provided, however, that this does not apply if it is difficult to notify the identifiable person of that occurrence, and the necessary alternative measures are taken to protect that person's rights and interests.
