The access happened between December 29, 2019 and January 27, 2020.

It does not affect members’ investments, which are held by Public Trust in a separate system.

This affects approximately 26,000 of the 90,000 members that have joined Generate over the past seven years. Generate has contacted all of its members individually to confirm whether or not their own personal information is among the data that was inappropriately accessed.

As well as outlining the steps the company is taking in response to this incident, advice has been provided to affected members about what steps they can take to minimise risks associated with inappropriate use of their personal information.
