14. The notice referred to in section 13 is sent to the persons concerned by the confidentiality incident.
The notice may also be made 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.
Despite the first and second paragraphs, the notice is made only by way of a public notice when the fact of sending such notice is likely to cause increased injury to the person concerned or when the fact of sending such notice is likely to cause undue hardship for the body, including when the body does not have the contact information for the person concerned.
A public notice may be made by any method that could be reasonably expected to reach the person concerned.
