This platform facilitates collective registration for a class-action lawsuit under Articles 28–31 of Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act (個資法). The case reference is 北高行 112-訴-1114. If your personal data was affected by the personal-data incident, you may register your intent to participate in the collective action here and seek state compensation through the courts.

The scope of the personal-data incident was announced by the competent authority. In general, if your personal data (such as national ID number or household-registration information) was held by the relevant government agency, there is a possibility it was affected. Please refer to the official announcements or contact stop@leaks.tw for details. This site does not independently determine whether individual data was compromised.

Under Article 28 of the Personal Data Protection Act, non-pecuniary damages are determined by the court on a case-by-case basis, up to a maximum of NT$20,000 per person per incident. The actual amount depends on the court's findings; this site makes no definitive guarantee. See 個資法 §28–§31 and the case filing for the legal basis.

After successful registration you will receive a confirmation email. Next steps: (1) click the link in the verification email to confirm your registration; (2) you will be notified by email as the case progresses.

The primary legal basis is: • Personal Data Protection Act §28 — right to claim non-pecuniary damages • Personal Data Protection Act §29 — liability of non-public entities • Personal Data Protection Act §30 — statute of limitations • Personal Data Protection Act §31 — collective-action provisions • Case reference: 北高行 112-訴-1114 (Taipei High Administrative Court) The action is following statutory procedures.

Your email address is used only to (1) verify your registration, (2) notify you of case progress, and (3) send retainer-related documents. We store it encrypted and never share it with third parties or use it for marketing. See our <a href="/privacy">Privacy Notice</a> (issued under 個資法 §27) for full details.

A class action allows many people with similar claims to join together and bring a single lawsuit. Under 個資法 §31, qualified foundations or public-interest associations may represent affected individuals. This reduces individual litigation costs and strengthens the collective bargaining position against government agencies.

"北高行 112-訴-1114" is the case docket number at the Taipei High Administrative Court. "北高行" is the court abbreviation, "112" refers to ROC year 112 (2023 CE), "訴" denotes a civil administrative action, and "1114" is the sequential case number. This identifier can be used to query case status directly with the court.

For the government's official response regarding the personal-data incident, please refer to announcements from the competent authority. This site does not represent the government's position and makes no commentary on government conduct. The purpose of this action is to seek lawful compensation for affected individuals; all claims are subject to court determination.

A dataset of 23,572,055 household-registration records — corresponding to the pre-April-2018 population — was confirmed by MJIB on 2023-02-24. If you held Taiwan household registration before April 2018, assume you were affected and act accordingly. This site does not host or link to any lookup tool that queries the leaked corpus (see /awareness for the rationale).

The 2026-01-15 Taipei High Administrative Court ruling in 112-訴-1114 establishes the Ministry of the Interior's Personal Data Protection Act liability for the pre-April-2018 household-registration leak, but its res-judicata effect is limited to the original parties. It serves as the anchor precedent — its fact-finding and §28 reasoning support subsequent §28 damages claims, though each collective action must proceed on its own record.

Register your intent to participate first, then apply to change your national ID. These are separate legal tracks and registering your intent to participate does not require having changed your ID. A change of identifier can complicate the §28 damages calculation, so registering first preserves the cleanest factual baseline.

Under Article 15 of the Naming Act, you may apply for a new national ID number if you have been impersonated or if there is sufficient evidence that your personal data is held for unlawful purposes. Most applicants in the 2018-04 household-registration leak cite the latter ground. Initial rejection rates by the Ministry of the Interior are high, so the practical path is application → 訴願 appeal → administrative lawsuit at the High Administrative Court. See /id-change for the full workflow.

It proves nothing. The leaked corpus has been circulating for years, so anyone can hold these fields. Assume you are affected: hang up and call back through the agency's official number. If you have already shared an OTP or wired money, call 165 (the anti-fraud hotline) and file a police report immediately. See /awareness for guidance.

This site's primary function is litigation intent registration for the Personal Data Protection Act §28 class action (NT$500–20,000 non-pecuniary damages). /id-change is the individual administrative-remedy track — how to apply for a new national ID number. Both are available in parallel, but register your intent to participate first so the §28 damages baseline is not affected (see Q13).
