If you are the victim of a data breach, you have the right to be compensated, even if you didn’t suffer any financial losses

We know how devastating it can be to learn that your data has been breached. The worry about who has your data, what they might do with it, what private data may have been accessed, plus the inconvenience of having to take measures to ensure you are not at risk. In addition, there’s also the very real threat that you could have suffered some financial losses if your data has been used to access accounts or even in phishing attempts.

Such breaches of your data can be devastating for some people, especially when sensitive private data, such as medical records, may have been released or accessed. It also leaves you open to the risk of criminals attempting to steal your identity for fraudulent means, or even trying to dupe you into providing them with additional information that they could use for fraudulent purposes. That is why data breaches deserve to be taken seriously and those affected have a right to claim compensation.

Why make a data breach claim?

  • Hold organisations to account for failing to protect your data you trusted them with
  • Receive compensation for distress and financial losses
  • Force the organisation to tighten their data security measures

You may be surprised to learn that the majority of data breach claims are not caused by cyber hackers, but instead are due to human error. An admin mistake that sees your details mistakenly shared with an unauthorised person can have far-reaching consequences, and you therefore have the right to hold to account the company entrusted with your data that has let you down.

At Keller Lenkner UK, our data protection lawyers are specialists in data breach law. Our team understand what it takes to make a successful data breach claim across a range of different circumstances.

What can you claim for?

While each case is judged on its own merits, there are some things we would typically look for when it comes to when claiming compensation following a data breach, cybercrime or other GDPR violation:

Financial loses

With stolen data, cybercriminals can make purchases using your bank and credit cards, apply for credit in your name, set up fraudulent bank accounts and access your existing online accounts.

Distress

GDPR failures, cybercrime and data breaches can have a significant impact on you, both mentally and physically. They can cause or exacerbate anxiety, stress and other psychological conditions.

Loss of privacy

Your data has value, and organisations must be held to account if they fail to protect your right to data privacy or otherwise do not uphold your GDPR rights.
 

What are some of the typical data breaches that I might be able to claim for?

Data breaches can occur in many different ways. You may have been affected by at least one of the following:

  • your data has been inadvertently lost, hacked or leaked
  • your identity has been stolen to obtain credit cards fraudulently
  • your personal data has been sent to a third party without permission
  • an organisation has failed to maintain up-to-date, accurate information and this caused damage you
  • your personal information has been misused or mishandled
