Notify data subjectsA data breach notification letter is a letter sent to individuals whose personal data has been compromised in a data breach. The letter typically contains information about what happened, what data was affected, and what steps the individual can take to protect themselves. Data breach notification letters are required by law in many jurisdictions, and must be sent to individuals within a certain timeframe after the breach has been discovered.
In the event of a data breach incident, this template serves as a formal notice from the data controller to the affected individuals, known as data subjects. It outlines the necessary information that needs to be communicated to the data subjects regarding the breach, such as the nature of the breach, the type of personal data that has been compromised, the potential risks or consequences of the breach, and any measures that are being taken to address or mitigate the impact of the breach.
Furthermore, this template ensures compliance with UK law by incorporating the UK GDPR, which is the UK's implementation of the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). The template takes into account the specific requirements and obligations outlined in the UK GDPR, which include the timeframe within which the breach must be reported, as well as the details and content that must be included in the breach notification.
Overall, this legal template provides a systematic approach for data controllers to fulfill their legal obligations by promptly informing affected data subjects about data breaches under the UK GDPR. It ensures clear and comprehensive communication, helping to mitigate potential damage and maintain trust between data controllers and the individuals whose personal data has been compromised.

Software Engineer Contract
This Software Engineer contract template is designed for a commercial software engineering organisation (or an individual software engineer) to use when contracting out their skills and services in exchange for payment. This contract sets out the type of software engineering and software-engineering-related services to be completed by the software engineer on behalf of the client, with consideration for expectations around quality and delivery timescales, as well as any mitigating circumstances. This contract allows for payment to be made by the client to the software engineering firm or individual software engineer on a weekly or monthly basis but can easily be edited to account for other payment schedules and could be altered to include bonuses conditional on performance. It can also be fully customised with the details of the two parties and the duration of the contract and can be printed, downloaded and edited freely as part of our mission to open source business legals. This is a template for contractors who fit outside of the UK's off-payroll working rules (IR35).
