Compensation for staff information data leaks

You could be eligible to claim compensation for staff information data leaks, and you could be eligible to receive thousands of pounds in compensation, depending on the nature of the information that has been misused or exposed. Your employer has an important duty to protect the information they hold about you, which can be incredibly personal and sensitive. It can include financial information for paying you, as well as sensitive medical and domestic information as part of helping you in the workplace.

It is the responsibility of your employer to control the access to information to make sure that only those who are required to see or process it are able to do so. Despite the clarity in respect of the GDPR, and the duties that an employer has, there are plenty of ways in which staff information data leaks take place.

Anyone who has suffered distress as a result of staff information data leaks could be eligible to receive compensation in accordance with the GDPR. The GDPR can allow people to claim compensation for the distress that they have suffered from that is caused by the loss of control of their personal information.

We must recognise that any data leak in the workplace can be significant. Many people not only want to control personal information about them, but particularly restrict it in a workplace environment. Many of us have a clear separation between our professional lives and our domestic lives, and we do not want these to cross over, particularly when it comes to private information. As such, we have to recognise that any GDPR breach in the workplace could have a significant impact on the persons involved and could even permanently affect their relationships in the workplace.

If you have been affected by a workplace data breach, you could be eligible to claim, and we can provide you with free, no-obligation legal advice here now.

No Win, No Fee legal help now

For eligible clients, we may be able to represent you for an employee GDPR compensation case on a No Win, No Fee basis. We do this as part of our commitment to access to justice, and this means that we can write off our legal fees if your case does not succeed, as long as you have complied with the terms and conditions in place.

We recognise that most people would not want to proceed with a claim if they had to pay if they lost, which is why we work this way. In reality, there is no alternative, as few people would bother pursuing a claim if they knew that they had to pay for a losing case.

GDPR compensation claims

The GDPR is not just there for good practice, policies, rules, and procedures in terms of what organisations must do to prevent information misuse and exposure. The law is there to allow people to pursue GDPR compensation claims if they have been affected by a privacy breach.

As we said above, it is about recovering compensation for the distress that has been caused by the loss of control of your personal information. We can feel angry, sad, worried, anxious, and stressed when people know things about us that we did not want them to know about, particularly when we have no control over this process.
