Crisis Communication template
Data Breach Notification
Notify users of a data breach with clarity, urgency, and actionable steps. This is the exact template that ships in Nimply’s AI Content Studio — the full prompt is below, with every fill-in variable highlighted.
The full prompt
Write a data breach notification from [brand_name]. Breach details: [breach_details]. Data affected: [data_types]. Users affected: [affected_scope]. Include: a clear statement of what happened and when, exactly what data was compromised, what data was NOT compromised (reassure where you can), what you have done since discovering the breach (specific security actions), what users should do now (step-by-step: change passwords, monitor accounts, etc.), free credit monitoring or protection offer if applicable: [protection_offer], who to contact with questions, and a commitment to transparency with updates. Tone: urgent but calm and [tone]. Keep under [word_count] words. Follow legal notification requirements (note: this is a template, not legal advice).
Copy it anywhere, or open it in Nimply where each highlighted variable becomes a form field and the output lands as a draft in your planner.

Craft notes
Getting the most from crisis communication templates
- Speed beats polish for the first statement; the holding-statement template exists so "we know, we’re on it" goes out in minutes.
- Say the uncomfortable word. Apologies that never say "sorry" and outage posts that never say "down" read as evasion.
- Commit to the next update time, not the fix time — you control one of them.
- These are communication templates, not legal advice; breach notifications in particular have jurisdiction-specific requirements your counsel owns.
