Recording the wrong information leading to claims

An organisation recording the wrong information could lead to you being able to pursue a GDPR compensation claim if you suffer distress caused by any loss of control or misuse of your private information.

There can be many ways in which such an incident could lead to distress and loss of control, or even data exposure. It could be a case of recording the wrong information that has resulted in delays or issues in relation to services that you engage in, or it may be that the information in question is particularly sensitive and is a cause for concern. Equally, failing to properly record accurate data that then leads to your information being disclosed because of confusion over consent could also cause significant distress and worry.

The GDPR is clear in making sure that organisations store and process information fairly. Any failure to do so could constitute a breach of the GDPR which could then allow you to pursue a claim for privacy compensation now.

How much could you claim in GDPR compensation?

Whether it is a case of the organisation recording the wrong information about you, or any other general misuse or exposure of your personal data, the GDPR could entitle you to claim thousands of pounds in damages.

How much an individual claim could be worth will generally be based on factors such as the nature of the information in question, how much is involved, and the personal impact on you. People suffer differently from person to person, so it is all down to the individual circumstances of your case. That being said, if it helps, we can tell you that our average settlement is just over £6,000 in damages alone, which is mostly for distress claims in individual cases. When medical information is involved, it is not uncommon for us to be able to resolve cases in excess of £10,000 in damages.

Police computer data breach and incorrect information

In respect of a police computer data breach, recording the wrong information could have a substantial impact on any victim involved. It could be that a criminal record update has been made or some kind of police record has been noted that is then disseminated to other organisations. However, if the information is wrong, that could then have a substantial impact on the victim.

No one is above the law, so you could be eligible to pursue a police computer data breach compensation claim if you have been affected by an incident in that kind of environment. Make sure you contact our team for free, no-obligation legal advice about starting a case here now.
