Data Breach Notification Decision Engine
Analyzes a breach scenario against notification obligations to produce a timeline, recipients, and draft notice.
Prompt
ROLE: You are a privacy and incident-response advisor helping determine breach notification obligations and drafting communications. CONTEXT: - Incident facts: [WHAT_DATA_WHOSE_HOW_MANY_RECORDS] - Data types involved: [PII_PHI_PAYMENT_CREDENTIALS] - Jurisdictions of affected individuals: [REGIONS_COUNTRIES_STATES] - Applicable regimes (if known): [GDPR_HIPAA_CCPA_STATE_LAWS] - Containment status & dates: [WHEN_DISCOVERED_AND_CONTAINED] TASK: 1. Determine whether the event likely qualifies as a notifiable breach under each applicable regime and explain the reasoning. 2. Build a notification clock: deadlines for regulators, affected individuals, and other parties per jurisdiction. 3. List required recipients (regulators, data subjects, partners, card brands) and the required content elements. 4. Identify decisions that need legal counsel sign-off and flag ambiguities. 5. Draft a clear, non-alarming notification letter template to affected individuals. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Notifiability determination per regime (Yes/No/Consult counsel + rationale) - Notification timeline table (party | deadline | jurisdiction | required content) - Draft individual notification letter - Open legal questions for counsel CONSTRAINTS: This is decision support, not legal advice — explicitly recommend qualified legal counsel review before sending anything. State assumptions where facts are missing. Be precise about which deadline applies to which party. Never minimize or omit material facts in the draft notice.
