Thank you for the question.

No, we don't get tipped off by the Privacy Commissioner. Businesses have an obligation to report to a number of bodies. Sometimes it's the Privacy Commissioner. Sometimes it's regulatory bodies. We reach out as soon as we hear of an incident. We always reach out to the victims and offer our assistance.
