Complaints Handling and Investigations

Privacy complaints need to be taken seriously and investigations should be conducted by experts in a professional and expeditious manner.

In line with growing expectations for privacy, organisations are expected to be responsive to the privacy concerns and complaints raised by customers or other stakeholders.

Privacy complaints need to be handled with care and seriousness. They should be assessed by a privacy subject matter expert to determine the most appropriate course of action.

Mishandling complaints or failing to investigate them thoroughly could lead to impaired customer trust, adverse regulatory consequences and reputational damage. Conversely a professional and expeditious response can enhance trust.
