Full breach record for Carousell

Regulator's decision — not a breach notification

This record is a regulator's decision, not the organisation's own breach notice. Breach-notification fields (discovery date, notification clock) are structurally absent — what this source establishes is the outcome and the provisions the decision cites.

A financial penalty of $58,000 was imposed on Carousell for failing to put in place reasonable security arrangements to protect the personal data of its platform users in its possession or under its control. Carousell was also directed to review its software testing procedures, processes and procedures for documenting functional and technical specifications of software and rectify any gaps identified from the reviews.

No linked breach filing · watching

Compliance clocks stay unassessable until a breach filing is linked. This record is the regulator's action, not a breach notice. Dashed segments fill in automatically when corroboration arrives.
