In today’s increasingly digitised age, there are greater risks of accidental file sharing as most information is now stored, processed and transferred in this way.
It only takes one typographical error and information could be shared with the wrong email address, or it may be one slip and the incorrect data could be shared with the wrong person. Ultimately, accidental file sharing events can be very easy to happen, but that does not excuse the fact that this can still constitute a breach of the GDPR.
All organisations have a very important responsibility to protect the information that they store and process, and all employees working for an organisation have to uphold their responsibilities as well. Any accidents or errors can constitute negligence which could then constitute a breach of the GDPR. If that happens, those whose information has been misused or exposed could be eligible to claim compensation which we will go into more detail about below.
We are Leading Data Leak Lawyers, having been representing people in this niche and complex area of law for near to a decade, which is a great deal longer than many other law firms out there. We represent thousands of people in privacy compensation claims on a No Win, No Fee basis which includes individual cases as well as thousands engaged in our group and multi-party actions. To date, we have launched over 60 group and multi-party actions, and these include infamous events such as the 56 Dean Street Clinic Leak of 2015, the TalkTalk cyberattack of the same year, the British Airways cyberattacks of 2018, and the Virgin Media data leak of 2020.
Ultimately, our experience speaks for itself, given our long history working in this area of law, which is why we are leading privacy compensation experts. Our average compensation settlement is just over £6,000 in damages alone, so it is well worth your time pursuing a case. When it comes to sensitive medical information breaches, claims can easily settle for over £10,000.
If you have been the victim of an incident involving accidental file sharing, or another event in which your information has been misused or exposed, you could be eligible to claim compensation – contact our team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.
