DVLA
If a private parking company has sent you an invalid PCN, or if the DVLA has given a parking company your personal information in error, you could be due compensation.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU law on data protection and privacy. It sets out how organisations can use your personal information.
The UK retained the GDPR after the end of the Brexit transition period, so all UK organisations must comply with the GDPR. The ‘UK GDPR’ sits alongside the Data Protection Act (DPA).
When it comes to GDPR failures and abuses, it is not just about data breaches.
Today, too many companies are failing to uphold our individual data rights in other ways. If you have suffered financial loss, distress or a loss of privacy caused by an organisation breaching any part of the GDPR/Data Protection Act, you have the right to claim compensation.
At Keller Lenkner UK, we make sure our clients are compensated for any GDPR breaches that impact their legal rights.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN THE VICTIM OF A GDPR BREACH, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF ORGANISATION INVOLVED, WE CAN HELP.
Under the GDPR, an organisation can be fined a maximum of €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover – whichever is greater – for infringements of the data protection regulations. In the UK, GDPR fines are issued by the ICO (the UK’s data protection regulator). But this money goes directly to Treasury, not to the victims of a personal GDPR breach. The only way to get GDPR breach compensation is to make a claim.
When it comes to GDPR breach compensation amounts, each case will be judged on its own merits. But our expert GDPR lawyers will help you get the maximum compensation possible.
When decisions are made about you without people being involved, this is called automated individual decision-making and profiling or ‘automated processing. In particular, women and people of BAME groups are being discriminated against by companies that use such tech.
Such technology is also being used by some of the biggest companies in the gig economy sector – often to the detriment of workers.
At Keller Lenkner UK, we make sure our clients are compensated for any GDPR violations that impact their legal rights. And if you have been harmed by algorithmic and automated decision-making processes, we can help.
