Voluntary undertakings in data protection proceedings bar related action, while non-compliance is treated as a statutory breach after hearing.
Section 32 establishes a voluntary undertaking mechanism allowing the Board, at any stage of proceedings under section 28, to accept commitments concerning observance of the Act. Terms may require action within a prescribed period, restraint from action, or publicisation. Acceptance bars further proceedings concerning covered matters, but non-compliance is deemed a breach of the Act and permits proceedings under section 33 after an opportunity of being heard.
