Claim compensation having received a data breach notification

If you have received a data breach notification, this could mean that you could then be entitled to claim privacy compensation for any distress or loss that has been caused as a result of the incident you have been affected by. Not only does the GDPR stipulate that people must be informed if their information has been potentially misused or exposed in many cases, but it is also there to use to pursue compensation.

In accordance with the GDPR, you could be eligible to recover damages for any distress that has been caused by the loss of control of your personal information. This is because we are entitled to control who knows what about us so that we can enjoy reasonable privacy. The reason this is the law is because it is recognised that people do not want everyone to know everything about them. It is recognised that it can be worrying or stressful when people know certain things about us that we want to maintain confidentiality over. As such, if you lose that control, and you suffer distress, that is what you could claim for.

The GDPR can also allow the victim of a data breach to recover damages for any losses or expenses incurred as well if they are related to the breach. However, in most circumstances, these will not be applicable and you do not need to have suffered any actual financial losses or paid out any expenses to claim. Most people will receive damages for mainly distress.

Claim compensation for a data leak, beach or hack

You could be eligible to claim compensation for a data leak, breach or a hack if you are informed via a data breach notification that you have been affected by such an incident. Ultimately, whether it is a breach, leak or hack, it is about confirming whether the GDPR has been breached due to negligence. If there has been a breach of the GDPR, and this has arisen from some form of negligence, that is when you could be eligible to pursue damages.

Assessing negligence is about the circumstances of how the information came to be misused or exposed, and what more could – or should – have been done to have prevented the incident from taking place.
