Making a data breach compensation claim

Data breaches have hit the news headlines in recent years, especially when a breach exposes particularly sensitive personal information. but when a data breach occurs then what legal rights does an individual have? And what are the grounds for making a data breach compensation claim.

What constitutes a Data Breach?

Personal data is any information that would identify an individual. This would include someone’s name, their contact details, or even details of their online activities. If an organisation that handles your private data fails to protect it or mishandles your information, then it can result in a data breach.

Claiming data breach compensation

When a data breach occurs, the victim may be entitled to seek compensation from the organisation responsible for the breach. To make a data breach claim, it will be necessary to show that the organisation’s failure to meet data protection standards resulted in the breach of your personal data.

It is also necessary to demonstrate that you have experienced harm as a result of the breach, either financially, or by suffering psychological distress.

Contact us for a free consultation

The data breach should be reported to the organisation responsible for it occurring, and the ICO. The organisation is required to tell you how they’re addressing it. The ICO may also investigate the breach to ensure compliance with data protection laws.

You can contact our legal helpline for a free consultation with one of our solicitors about making a compensation claim.
