£10,000 settlement for sharing private information without consent

We previously attained a £10,000 settlement for a client who we represented who was the victim of an organisation sharing private information without consent.

The GDPR is incredibly important for organisations to comply with, and it sets out what must be done to make sure that data subjects can benefit from the privacy that they are legally entitled to. If the GDPR is breached, any victim of a privacy event could suffer significant distress and loss. As Leading Data Breach Compensation Experts, we are here to help people.

healthcare data protection breaches

Healthcare data protection breaches

Despite the degree of trust we invest in doctors and other healthcare professionals, lapses in data protection still take place far too often within healthcare organisations. Given the sensitivity of medical information, healthcare data protection breaches can profoundly affect victims, many of whom can suffer from significant distress when they discover that their privacy has been compromised.

A number of serious data security incidents involving patient information have been reported in recent years, yet this negative coverage does not seem to have persuaded all healthcare organisations to improve their data protection strategies. Even small missteps can cause mass data exposure, which is why there is no room for error when it comes to data security.

At Your Lawyers – The Data Leak Lawyers – we specialise in data breach compensation claims. We are determined to hold organisations accountable for any failure to comply with data protection law. If you have had data compromised or exposed by a healthcare organisation, you may be entitled to claim compensation – you can contact us to receive free, no-obligation legal advice on your potential eligibility to claim here now.

IT company data breach
April 19, 2023

IT company data breach problems

To hackers, the benefits of an IT company data breach can be clear. Targeting IT providers who offer services to numerous other companies could offer the chance to unlock many servers and databases, each of which could store a wealth of sensitive information. For this reason, it is essential that IT companies have leading cybersecurity measures in place.

Unfortunately, not all companies abide by the required data protection standards, and this can open entry points for attackers. There have been a number of attacks on IT companies in recent years which have had knock-on effects on the businesses to which they provide services. This domino effect caused by IT company data breaches can reflect how devastating they can be for data security.

If you have been affected by a data breach of this nature, you may be able to claim compensation for any harm caused on a No Win, No Fee basis. At Your Lawyers – the Data Leak Lawyers – we have been representing victims in data breach claims since 2014, so we have the experience needed to help you win the compensation that you deserve. Contact our team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.
