Compensation for councils leaking personal data<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When it comes to incidents involving councils leaking personal information, anyone who has been the victim of any misuse or exposure of data could be eligible to pursue compensation. The applicable legislation is the GDPR which not only governs best practices, policies and procedures for organisations, but can also be used by victims to claim damages.<\/p>\n

The GDPR could allow the victim of a privacy breach to claim compensation for any distress that has been caused by the loss of control of their personal information. The GDPR recognises that we can feel adverse feelings as a result of losing control over personal and sensitive data, and can allow us to recover potentially thousands of pounds in the event such an incident takes place. Given that councils and local authority agencies are processing a wealth of very significant and sensitive information, it is not uncommon for people to be able to recover thousands of pounds in compensation cases for such incidents.<\/p>\n

We can assess incidents of councils leaking personal information and, if we believe that there is a claim to pursue, we can offer to represent victims for cases on a No Win, No Fee basis in relation to group and multi-party cases.<\/p>\n

Forming a group or multi-party action<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Councils leaking personal information can easily form into group and multi-party actions when many people have been involved. Whether it is a case of a local authority agency inadvertently disclosing the information of a number of people, or where a cyberattack has been successful and resulted in the exposure of data for many people, there could be a claim to pursue.<\/p>\n

Succeeding with a group or multi-party action often simply comes down to establishing that there has been a breach of the GDPR and that this caused suffering or loss to the victims. Most people will not suffer any direct financial losses or expenses, but will suffer distress caused by the loss of control of their personal information. That is what they could be eligible to pursue damages for as an injury to feelings, so to speak. This can be based on factors such as the nature of the information affected and how much data has been involved.<\/p>\n
