Can you claim compensation for a member of parliament data breach?

You could be entitled to claim compensation if you have been affected by a member of parliament data breach if your personal information has been misused or exposed. Ultimately, no one is above the law, and that includes our government and those who represent us as part of that government. All organisations and persons working for organisations have the same responsibility to uphold the GDPR and protect the information that they must reasonably store and process. Any failure to do so could constitute negligence which could then allow the victim to claim GDPR compensation.

In a member of parliament data breach matter, it may be a case that you have a claim against the individual or the party that they represent, or the government itself. It can depend on the circumstances and how the breach took place which could then dictate who a claim is directed to.

A recent example

There was a recent example of a member of parliament data breach reported in the media that is understood to have involved a woman from Hartlepool who reportedly received an email containing highly sensitive information about someone she did not know. It is understood that she received a phone call and was asked to delete the email in question but was understandably left concerned about what had happened.

Email data leaks are one of the most common forms in which information can be sent to the wrong person by mistake and could cause substantial damage. All it takes is one little error and the wrong information can fall into the wrong hands which could cause significant distress to those affected.

High data breach awards for serious breaches

Serious privacy breaches can lead to significant data breach awards. Our average data breach compensation settlement is just over £6,000 in damages alone, which is mostly for distress cases and individual claims. However, data breaches involving sensitive medical information can easily settle for over £10,000 because of the significant impact on the victim.

Ultimately, the more you suffer, the more your claim could be worth. This can be measured based on the significance of the distress that is caused which can be subjective and unique to the individual. However, we can consider particular factors such as the nature of the information involved, how much is affected, and the context of the breach, as well as who data has been exposed to. These can all be factors to consider when it comes to helping us to value the claim and making sure that we can obtain the best award possible.
