Typeform data breach claim

It is now three years since Typeform suffered a data breach, in which the survey company was hit by hackers. On 27^th June 2018, the company identified the issue, which they said had allowed the hackers to steal customer information from a “partial backup” set. Those affected by the incident may still be able to make a Typeform data breach claim, and we can still offer No Win, No Fee legal representation.

As specialists in data breach claims, we stand up for victims who have had their data exposed or compromised by third-party organisations. It can be distressing for anyone to learn that their private information may have become vulnerable to misuse, which is why it is vital to assert your legal rights in the event of a data breach.

If Typeform is found to have failed to protect customer data, those affected by the data breach could be eligible to recover compensation. Anyone who was notified of their involvement in the Typeform data breach can contact us for free, no-obligation advice on their potential claim.

The Typeform hack and its impact

Typeform provides services to companies who outsource the conduct of surveys and quizzes, providing these companies with a software solution with which they can collect necessary data. As such, when the hack occurred, its reach extended not only to the direct clients of Typeform, but also to these companies’ customers.

Typeform reported that the affected data included all results collected before 3^rd May, meaning that masses of details may have been stolen by the hackers. One of the organsation’s most high-profile affected clients was Monzo bank, who stated that the details of 20,000 of its customers may have been affected. It suggested that the exposed data included email addresses and possibly postcodes, as well as Twitter usernames, for some of its customers.

Your Typeform data breach claim

Although the incident may not have exposed what is often classified as highly sensitive information, you could still be potentially eligible to make a Typeform data breach claim. If you were affected, you may have received a notification message directly from Typeform or from one of Typeform’s clients, which could make you eligible for a compensation claim.

As part of your Typeform data breach claim, we can aim to recover compensation that reflects the ways in which the breach affected you. If you suffered distress, you could receive damages for this, and there may also be cases in which victims suffered financial losses. For example, some victims may have encountered email scams if their email addresses were exposed, which may have put them at risk of fraud.
