6. The notices referred to in section 5 are sent to the persons concerned by the confidentiality incident.
Despite the first paragraph, the notices referred to in section 5 are given by way of a public notice in any of the following circumstances:(1) when the fact of sending such notice is likely to cause increased injury to the person concerned;
(2) when the fact of sending such notice is likely to cause undue hardship for the body;
(3) when the body does not have the contact information for the person concerned.
The notices referred to in section 5 may also be given by way of a public notice if there is a need to act rapidly to reduce the risk of a serious injury or to mitigate any such injury. In such cases, the body must still send a notice to the person concerned with proper diligence, unless one of the circumstances listed in the second paragraph applies.
Pursuant to this section, public notices may be made by any method that could be reasonably expected to reach the person concerned.
