These range from some of the earliest actions, like the TalkTalk hack and the 56 Dean Street Clinic leak, to huge cases like the <strong>BA Data Breach Group Action<\/strong> that we\u2019re on the Steering Committee for.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, we wanted to make sure that people are clear on how GDPR affects their rights when it comes to making a claim for compensation.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>GDPR data breach rights for compensation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to your GDPR data breach rights, there are two important things that are generally the most important:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensuring that an offender is punished; and<\/li>\n<li>Justice for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) has the power to issue substantial fines to data breach offenders. Their first provisional fines using the new legislation have been set at \u00a3183m for the BA data breach, and \u00a399m for the Marriott one.<\/p>\n<p>Organisations have a duty to report data breaches to the ICO where the matter is serious enough. This should then trigger the ICO investigation where they can then decide whether to issue a financial penalty or not.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What about justice for victims?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Arguably, a fine that\u2019s issued by the ICO doesn\u2019t really do much for the victims in terms of the justice that they deserve for what they have had to go through.<\/p>\n<p>Money that\u2019s collected from ICO fines doesn\u2019t usually go toward funding damages for victims either.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, the GDPR data breach rights of a victim can entitle them to compensation as a separate matter to any financial penalties that are issued. If your information is exposed or misused, you have the legal right to seek compensation for any distress or loss that\u2019s caused. This could be the distress caused by the loss of control of your personal data, or money that has been stolen due to fraud.<\/p>\n<p>However, a recent court case has also paved the way for victims of a data breach to receive compensation in some cases even when there hasn\u2019t been any distress or loss suffered.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Using your GDPR data breach rights to obtain compensation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We can make use of your GDPR data breach rights to be able to pursue a claim for compensation on your behalf.<\/p>\n<p>We can represent you on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupactionlawyers.co.uk\/no-win-no-fee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>No Win, No Fee basis<\/strong><\/a> for eligible cases, and for big cases like the BA Group Action, we can also obtain funding and insurance. This is normally what you need to be in the position to take on a big company and fight for the compensation that you deserve.<\/p>\n<p>If the organisation that has exposed or misused your data admits liability or is found to be liable, you can then be entitled to receive damages. If the claim is for distress, the claim will usually be valued based on the extent and severity of the suffering you have endured. If it\u2019s for financial losses instead, or as well, the value of the claim will usually reflect what has been lost.<\/p>\n<p>For free, no-obligation advice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupactionlawyers.co.uk\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>please don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch with our team.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GDPR data breach rights have never been more prevalent in today\u2019s digitalised age, especially when we\u2019re seeing more and more breaches taking place all of the time.
