6.2. HVN will respond in the language in which the data subject has written the relevant request, except where HVN prefers to respond in another language that HVN is confident the data subject will understand and which is generally accepted in the relevant country. HEINEKEN will aim to receive and respond to data subject rights request in written electronic form, using the templates as provided in this Policy. HEINEKEN will respond to the request via post or fax only when the data subject explicitly indicates that he/she wishes to communicate via post or fax.

6.4. In case of requests for access or data portability, where HVN will need to send personal data to the data subject, the data subject shall be given the option to indicate if he/she wishes to receive the personal data via a secure communication method. HVN shall ensure to only use the requested secure communication method, to the extent reasonably (technically) possible. 

6.5. Under specific circumstances at issue, HVN may deny or refuse requests of data subjects as further specified in Schedule 3, including in case of an ‘overriding interest’, a pressing need for HEINEKEN may exist that outweighs the interest of the data subject. 

7. Managing and storing each request  

7.1. The Privacy Officer is responsible for maintaining a repository of each data subject rights request and all communication exchanged per request, including the verification of identity and the response to confirm that the request has been processed, including the name of the data subjects that have submitted the requests.

The Company will notify the authorized government office of a Data Security Breach within the prescribed time period after discovering such breach.

Data retention and integrity

The Company will take reasonable steps to ensure that when using the Company's systems, personal data processed is reliable for its intended use and is accurate, adequate and up to date to carry out the purposes described in this Notice. The Company will only retain personal data that is necessary for its relevant purposes to be used in the system or as legally required or recommended limits of applicable time. In general, employee personal data is securely deleted or disable from the system after 10 (ten) years or sooner depending on the system type, as from the relevant employee who terminates the employment relationship or after a statutory period from the time employee proactively requests data deletion or withdraws consent to data processing, except the cases that the Company must continue to process data to fulfill its obligations of the Company in accordance with applicable laws.

The time to start processing data is calculated from the time the data subject agrees with this data security notice and provides the data to the Company.

PERSONAL DATA BREACH NOTIFICATION POLICY HEINEKEN VIETNAM

Introduction

Everybody within HEINEKEN Vietnam (“HVN”) has the legal obligation to keep personal data secure. This Personal Data Breach Notification Policy (“Policy”) applies when HVN becomes aware (internally or from a third party) that a security incident that involves personal data has occurred, or is likely to occur.

A personal data breach:

  • may result in physical, material and/or non-material harm to individuals;
  • may expose HVN to significant fines; and
  • where required by law, may need to be reported to the relevant Data Protection Authority and/or individuals affected.

Therefore, if HVN becomes aware that a personal data breach has occurred, or may occur, HVN must immediately take all appropriate technological and organizational measures to remedy the incident and ensure that the personal data is secure. In any event, the Global Privacy Office (GPO) shall be informed of the personal data breach without undue delay. In addition, Decree 13/2023/ND-CP requires that breaches must be reported to the Ministry of Public Safety (“Data Protection Authority”). 

It is important that everyone at HVN knows how to recognize a personal data breach (or potential breach) and what steps to take, whilst understanding the importance of acting quickly to allow HVN to take actions and to comply with the Privacy Procedures and any applicable legal obligations.  


What is personal data?

Personal data refers to electronic information in the form of symbols, letters, numbers, images, sounds, or equivalences associated with an individual or used to identify an individual. Personal data may include general personal data and sensitive personal data.

Examples of personal data are:

  • identifiers such as a name, identification number or location data; 
  • online identifiers such as an IP address, device identifier or cookie identifier; and
  • factors specific to the physical, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of an individual.

As part of its everyday business activities, HVN handles personal data of HVN employees, consumers, customers, visitors, business partners and suppliers.

 

What is a personal data breach?

A personal data breach is a security incident which leads to the unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of unencrypted personal data that compromises the security or privacy of this information.  This policy is relevant to security incidents involving personal data that is stored, transferred, controlled or otherwise handled (in general “processed”) by HVN. 

Use or access may include:

  • Destruction of personal data is where the data no longer exist or no longer exists in a form that is of any use to HVN.
  • Loss of personal data is where data may still exist, but HVN has lost control or access to it, or no longer has it in its possession.
  • Alteration is where personal data has been altered, corrupted or is no longer complete.
  • Unauthorized or unlawful processing may include disclosure of personal data (or access by) recipients who are not authorized to receive (or access) the data, or any other treatment of personal data which violates applicable privacy laws.

Examples:

  • HVN’s network is infected by ransomware (malicious software that encrypts the HVN data until a ransom is paid). 
  • A non-encrypted device, e.g. a USB stick, containing personal data is lost or stolen.
  • HVN has sent an email to the wrong mailing list, or HEINEKEN has made a mistake in BCC/CC
  • A briefcase with papers containing personal data is lost or stolen. 
  • One of HEINEKEN’s online marketplaces suffers a cyber-attack and usernames and purchase history are published online by the attacker. 
  • Personal data is extracted from a secure website managed by HEINEKEN during a cyber- attack. 

 

What are HEINEKEN’s responsibilities?

Where a personal data breach occurs, or is likely to occur, HVN must immediately take all appropriate technological and organizational measures to remedy the incident and ensure the personal data is secure.

If conditions for notification are met, HVN must notify the breach to the relevant Data Protection Authority and/or affected individuals. 

If the personal data breach meets the requirements for such qualification as set out in the Privacy Procedures (a security incident – whereby there has been unauthorized access or other use of personal data – compromising the security or privacy of such information – posing a high risk to the individuals whose data it concerns): the breach must be reported to the HEINEKEN Global Privacy Office (GPO). GPO may also require HVN to inform the individuals concerned. 

HVN must keep a record of all breaches that have occurred in the organisation. This record must include information about the facts relating to the breach, its effects and which actions have been taken to remediate the breach.

 

What are the consequences of non-compliance?

HVN risks reputational damage for failing to keep personal data secure. HVN will be subjected to enormous fine according to the current law for non-compliance.   

 

Colleagues’ responsibilities

Each colleague is responsible for ensuring that they follow the internal process for reporting a breach, or potential breach, set out in this policy as soon as they become aware of it. Each colleague therefore needs to contact the Global Service Desk or local IT Helpdesk immediately in case of a potential personal data breach. 

For a full overview of HVN’s personal data breach process, please see the diagram flow here:

For a full overview of HVN’s personal data breach process

 

Where to report a personal data breach internally?

When a colleague has an indication (internally or from a third party) that a security incident that involves personal data has occurred, or is likely to occur, the colleague must report the incident immediately.  Incidents must be immediately reported by creating a ticket in ServiceNow, either through the GSD Self Service portal or by calling the GSD team or local IT Helpdesk assigned to HVN.

When a Data Processor is involved, the Data Processor immediately reports the security incident either directly to HVN IT Helpdesk or via the contact person that is mentioned in the data processor agreement (DPA).   

 

Global Service Desk or HVN IT Helpdesk 

A colleague should report an incident which is likely to include personal data through the GSD Self Service Portal or by calling GSD or HVN IT Helpdesk:

  • In the incident reporting process, the incident reporter is requested to provide particular details, if available, about the potential or actual personal data breach, such as when the incident occurred, which types of personal data might be involved, the individuals that might be involved, et cetera;
  • Once the incident has been raised, an automated email notification is sent to the local Security Incident Handling Team, including the local Privacy Officer(s).  

When more than one HEINEKEN entity is (potentially) affected by the breach, the HEINEKEN Global Service Desk (GSD) will also be assigned to the other relevant Security Incident Handling Team(s), as well as to the other relevant Privacy Officer(s) and the Global Privacy Officer.

Global Privacy Officer 

The Global Privacy Office, headed by the Global Privacy Officer, must be informed without undue delay of all personal data breaches that require notification to the Data Protection Authority. The Global Privacy Officer may instruct HVN to inform affected individuals of the personal data breach, where there is no legal obligation to notify individuals under Vietnam law. The instructions of the Global Privacy Officer must be followed by HVN.

The local Privacy Officer consults the Global Privacy Officer when additional support is required and when a (potential) personal data breach appears to involve more than one country. 

When more than one HEINEKEN entity in more than one country is affected by the breach, the Global Privacy Office coordinates and strives to ensure consistency in personal data breach handling amongst the local Privacy Officers and works with Global or Regional Corporate Affairs in case communication with affected individuals is required.

Crisis Management

HEINEKEN has a Crisis Management process in place which applies to this Personal Data Breach Policy as well. If required, the Crisis Management process will be applied by the Security Incident Handling Teams. 

 

Notifying individuals 

All notifications of personal data breaches to affected individuals must be drafted in joint collaboration by the Corporate Affairs Team and the Privacy Officer.

HVN Corporate Affairs Team will determine how to notify individuals on a case-by-case basis (e.g. who within HEINEKEN the notification should come from, the format and whether it is done by individual or mass communication). 

Where appropriate, the notice should also include specific advice to individuals to protect themselves from possible adverse consequences of the breach, such as resetting passwords in case their log-in credentials have been compromised. 

Notifications to individuals of personal data breaches should be separate from any other communications such as regular updates, newsletters or standard messages. The notification must be clear and transparent.

 

Registration

The HVN Privacy Officer has overall responsibility in ensuring that all relevant information regarding a personal data breach is registered in OneTrust. When no further investigation is required, the HVN Privacy Officer instructs the CSO to close the ServiceNow Incident ticket.
