Breach of Data Protection : Terms Of Reference for the East-West Arterial
The National Roads Authority (NRA) write to notify the public of a data breach that occurred April 4th 2023 by the National Roads Authority, which we sincerely apologize for.
Following the publication of the final Terms Of Reference for the East-West Arterial on the NRA website which includes public feedback as Appendix B, we note that whilst every effort was made to remove the ‘personal’ identity and ‘signatures’ of submissions, this has not occurred on some pages. In error, we uploaded the document, disclosing names of some persons to the public.
Upon being made aware of the data breach, a number of immediate actions were taken:
- Redaction of names made to the documents
- National Conservation Council through Department of Environment was notified of the breach as they also have those documents on their website.
- Issuing of this statement of apology to the press and on our media outlets given the wide circulation of this document.
Please be assured that we continue to take data security and confidentiality very seriously. The National Roads Authority, apologies for this error and for any concern this may have caused.
