I propose the following data to be a new case: | Fields | Data | | --- | --- | | Name | The service reports their reactions to information security incidents to the authority | | Description | When the service is encountering and dealing with the information security incident, the service would report their reactions to the authority out of any legal process. | | Classification | neutral | | Topic | [Terms of Service; Didn't Read - Phoenix](https://edit.tosdr.org/topics/50) | | Weight | 70 | **Examples:** > **[豆瓣个人信息保护政策](https://www.douban.com/about/privacy)** > **[哔哩哔哩隐私政策](https://www.bilibili.com/blackboard/privacy-pc.html)** > > bilibili ---

For user, it would involve giving information to the authority without being accused of crime. Although it is presumed that it is to defend mainland China’s closure Internet environment from “enemies”, this reason is not the users’ concern. However, since I’m not a law expert, I don’t know if other countries adopts similar policy. ---

I have no idea about the legal situation in the PRC or what would count as a security incident. Perhaps this could be made clearer by adding examples of what a security incident means, by pointing to the PRC law that mandates this and arguing why this is so bad. But in other jurisdictions there may be somewhat similar legal provisions that may make it into the terms of service. In Europe, the [GDPR](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj) mandates that businesses must report data breaches withing 72 hours after becoming aware of the incident: > (86) … the controller should notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, … Also, in Brazil, there is a similar provision in the [_Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados_ (LGPD)](http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_ato2015-2018/2018/lei/L13709.htm): > Art. 48. O controlador deverá comunicar à autoridade nacional e ao titular a ocorrência de incidente de segurança que possa acarretar risco ou dano relevante aos titulares. I have yet to see any of this mentioned in the terms of service and privacy policies that I have read, but if it can be generalized I think it could become a case. I would disagree, however, that this communication is outside of any legal process, considering that it is explicitly provisioned for in the law. The GDPR and LGPD provisions I wouldn’t consider bad, but perhaps neutral. ---

I think your suggestions (especially the “generalized” one) is good. I’ll change it to “neutral”. But I still need someone who are good at writing descriptions to help me change it. ---

Maybe something like this? | Fields | Data | | --- | --- | | Name | Security incidents are reported to the authority | | Description | If the service is encountering and dealing with a security incident involving potential losses or damages for its users, its reactions may be reported to the authority as part of a legal proceeding. | | Classification | neutral | | Topic | [Topic Security (ToS;DR Phoenix)](https://edit.tosdr.org/topics/50) | | Weight | 70 | ---

This sounds pretty good to me. ---
