A breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction,
loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, personal data
transmitted, stored or otherwise processed. In other words, if any information relating to an individual is in any
way disclosed not in the normal course of business, whether by accident or done
maliciously – that is a breach.
