What it makes you log

Logging duty

In English: the controller must immediately inform the data subject of any security breach, at any stage of processing, that significantly affects their patrimonial or moral rights, so that they can take steps to defend them. Article 19 is a duty to notify the data subject only. It asks for no register of breaches and no report to the Secretaría, and names no reader of a record. The article carries no territorial clause, so the row carries no jurisdiction hook.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

Article 19 requires the responsable to inform the data subject immediately of a security breach occurring at any stage of processing personal data that significantly affects the data subject's patrimonial or moral rights, so the data subject can take the steps needed to defend their rights. The Law states no separate deadline measured in hours or days: immediacy of the breach itself is the period, and the duty runs to the affected data subject alone.

The Law states no duty to report a breach to the Secretaría; article 39 gives the Secretaría general investigative and sanctioning powers over compliance with this Law, but no provision requires a breach report to it specifically.
