Dixons Carphone data breach compensation

Can you claim Dixons Carphone data breach compensation? You could join the action for justice we launched last year.

There’s no doubt that the company has been hit hard by the data breach. They reportedly posted a £440m loss for part of last year and have undergone some restructuring as well. But that aside, victims can be entitled to claim compensation for the Dixons Carphone data breach. Our legal action is separate to regularity fines issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office as well. The breach took place before GDPR came into force, so they won’t be seeing a significant fine.

Our legal action is already well underway, but it’s not too late to join if you’ve yet to sign-up.

Transparency pays when it comes to retail data protection

According to recent information, transparency pays when it comes to retail data protection as some consumers would pledge to shop more with retailers who are transparent about how they use their data.

Given the volume of data breaches we see in the news these days, consumers are more aware than ever about the importance of data protection and knowing more about how their data is used and shared.

The data about customers being happier to shop more with organisations when there is more transparency over retailer data protection policies is certainly food for thought in today’s globally-competitive market.
