- Notice of Data Breach. If Company believes, in its reasonable, good-faith discretion, that Personal Data, if any, stored on Company systems, has been accessed, disclosed, or acquired through Company’s fault, Company will alert Customer of any such data breach within two business days after learning of the data breach, and immediately take such actions as may be necessary to preserve forensic evidence and eliminate the cause of the data breach. Company will give highest priority to promptly correcting any data breach and devote such resources as may be required to accomplish that goal. Company will provide Customer with information reasonably necessary to enable Customer to understand the nature and scope of the data breach. To the extent that, in its sole reasonable discretion, Customer determines to be necessary, Customer may provide notice to any or all parties affected by the data breach.
