Voluntary undertakings in data protection proceedings can resolve compliance issues, but non-adherence triggers treatment as statutory breach.

Voluntary undertakings may be accepted during compliance proceedings and may require specified action, restraint from action, or publication within a Board-determined period. Their terms may be varied with the undertaking giver's consent. Acceptance bars further proceedings on matters covered by the undertaking. Non-compliance with an accepted term is deemed a breach of the Act, following which action may proceed after an opportunity of hearing.
