Councils must ensure that all personal information is processed securely and only accessed by authorised individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Breaches can occur in various ways, such as emails sent to the wrong recipient, insecure databases, lost documents, or cyberattacks. The information exposed may include addresses, financial details, or highly sensitive records relating to health or social services.<\/p>\n<p>If you suffer harm as a result\u2014whether financial loss, identity theft, or emotional distress\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/start-your-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>you may be eligible to claim compensation<\/strong><\/a>.
