We\u2019ve launched legal action which will form as part of a group \/ multi-party case for victims of the Charing Cross Gender Identity Clinic email leak.<\/p>\n

We were quickly contacted by victims of the data breach who have asked for our help, and we’ve agreed to represent them on a No Win, No Fee basis. The incident is a breach of GDPR, and it was entirely avoidable and should never have happened in the first place.<\/p>\n

Given the nature of the data that has been exposed, we expect that the impact for many of the victims will be severe. Those who are affected by the data leak can be entitled to claim compensation for the distress caused.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

About the Charing Cross Gender Identity Clinic email leak<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Charing Cross Gender Identity Clinic email leak was another case of data that has been leaked as a result of a mass email that has been sent incorrectly.<\/p>\n

Two emails relating to an art competition were reportedly sent to around 900 people in each batch. The \u201cCC\u201d (carbon copy) function was used, which meant that all the recipients could see the email addresses for all of the other recipients. The correct way to send an email like this is to use proper mailing software (even the \u201cBCC\u201d function isn\u2019t a safe way).<\/p>\n

We never expected to see a repeat of the infamous 56 Dean Street clinic<\/strong><\/a> leak that we\u2019ve been fighting for justice in since 2015. Sadly, even though lessons ought to have been learned from that breach, and with the introduction of GDPR last year has putting a greater focus on data protection, history has repeated itself.<\/p>\n

About making a data breach compensation claim<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Victims of the Charing Cross Gender Identity Clinic email leak can be entitled to make a No Win, No Fee data breach compensation claim.<\/p>\n

You can be eligible to claim for any distress that has been caused by the exposure and the loss of control of our personal and sensitive information. When it comes to private medical data, the impact can be severe, and this is reflected in the damages that are awarded when you make a claim.<\/p>\n

We consider that the prospects of succeeding with legal cases is high given that this was a completely avoidable leak. That\u2019s why we\u2019re prepared to offer No Win, No Fee representation<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Starting a case<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can start your claim for compensation<\/strong><\/a> if you have been affected by the Charing Cross GIC email leak quickly and easily by contacting the team in a number of ways (see here for more information<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Our Group action lawyers are proudly fighting for justice in over 40 different group and multi-party actions<\/strong><\/a>. As a trusted name when it comes \u00a0to mass action for victims of incidents like this, you can be assured that we will do all we can to help you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
