However, if DODO experiences a data breach, the company would follow a structured response to protect affected individuals and comply with legal obligations:

This includes identifying what data was compromised, how the breach occurred, and which individuals or systems are affected.
B. Notification of Authorities: If the breach is likely to result in a risk to individuals’ rights and freedoms (such as identity theft or reputational harm), DODO would notify the relevant supervisory authority-such as the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) or, if applicable, an EU Data Protection Authority-within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. The notification would include:
