Understanding Business Data Exposure and Your Rights

Business data exposure can occur when sensitive personal information—such as names, email addresses, financial details, medical records, or even biometric data—is accessed, disclosed, or stolen without authorisation.

These breaches can stem from various causes, including sophisticated cyberattacks such as ransomware, human errors like misdirected emails, or inadequate security measures by organisations. The consequences for individuals can be severe, ranging from identity theft to financial fraud and significant emotional distress.

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you may have a legal right to seek compensation if an organisation’s negligence leads to business data exposure that causes you harm.
