Response Team

Action Steps

• Once an incident is reported to us, the Response Team will determine whether that incident requires a breach response according to this Breach Response Plan.

We will follow the steps outlined below when responding to a breach:

1. The response team will work to determine how the breach occurred.

2. The Response Team will perform initial information gathering, gathering the name and contact information of the reporting individual (if applicable) and the circumstances of the incident to include involved parties.

3. The Response Team will communicate breach information to the rest of the team members (as required) as well as to the affected individual (if applicable).

4. The response team may determine the need to conduct containment activities to stop additional information from being lost or disclosed or to reduce the number of persons to whom the information may reach.

5. The Response Team may take steps to attempt having lost/stolen/inappropriately disclosed information returned or destroyed.

6. The Response Team will document all actions taken regarding an incident to include all steps taken in accordance with this plan. They will attempt to establish this documentation as soon as possible. This documentation will provide a thorough, complete account of an incident to fulfill reporting requirements to government agencies, as well as serve as legal documentation. All documentation related to privacy/security incidents will be maintained and kept confidential.

7. As more information is gathered, the Response Team will assess each privacy/security incident to determine appropriate handling, which may involve individuals in our Web, Mobile, Backend, Algorithm, and Business teams.
