Claim Thousands for a GDPR Violation – How The Data Leak Lawyers Can Help You

If your data has been exposed or accessed without your consent, you may have been a victim of a GDPR violation.

With the rise of digital data storage, the risk of sensitive personal information being mishandled has grown significantly. At The Data Leak Lawyers, we specialise in helping individuals claim compensation for data breaches, including those caused by employers. Victims could be entitled to claim thousands of pounds depending on the severity of the breach and the distress caused.

In this article, we explore what constitutes a GDPR violation, explain cases involving the breach of the Data Protection Act by an employer, and show how we can help you seek justice.

What Is a GDPR Violation and How Can You Claim Compensation?

A GDPR violation can occur when an organisation fails to adhere to the rules set out by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This regulation requires businesses, employers, and other entities to handle personal data responsibly and securely. When these rules are breached – whether through accidental exposure, unauthorised access, or deliberate misuse – affected individuals may have the right to claim compensation.

Common examples of GDPR violations include:

• Unauthorised Access: Allowing staff or third parties to view personal information without permission.
• Failure to Secure Data: Storing data without proper encryption or safeguards, leading to cyberattacks and leaks.
• Improper Sharing of Data: Sharing information with unauthorised entities without the individual’s consent.

Victims of GDPR violations could claim compensation for financial losses, emotional distress, and any inconvenience caused by the breach. At The Data Leak Lawyers, we have successfully secured substantial settlements for clients who have suffered due to data mishandling.

Breach of the Data Protection Act by Employer – What You Need to Know

A significant number of GDPR violation cases involve the breach of the Data Protection Act by an employer. Employers are legally obligated to handle employee data – such as payroll information, health records, and personal contact details – safely and in compliance with the GDPR. When they fail to do so, employees could suffer serious consequences, including identity theft, fraud, and emotional distress.

Common examples of employer data breaches include:

Emailing Sensitive Information to the Wrong Recipient: This often happens due to human error, but the consequences can still be severe.

Improper Disposal of Employee Records: Employers must securely dispose of personal data when it is no longer needed.

Unauthorised Monitoring: Employers must inform employees if they are monitoring their communications or activities at work.

If you have been affected by an employer’s failure to protect your data, you could be entitled to claim thousands of pounds in compensation. Our legal team has extensive experience in handling these types of claims and will work tirelessly to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
