Any data controller, including councils, must only store and process information that is relevant and required for use. There should be no circumstances in which information is being stored and processed that is not required, and employees with access to information should only access it when they need to genuinely see and use the information being stored.<\/p>\n<p>Given that they are storing and processing such a wealth of very personal and sensitive information, any unauthorised access in local authorities could cause significant distress to victims. Whether this is a case of a council employee snooping on the information for people they know, or where data has been accessed by external third parties because of a cyber leak, a breach of the GDPR of this nature must not go unpunished. That is why the GDPR can entitle a victim of such breaches to claim compensation for any distress that they have suffered from as a result of the loss of control of their personal information.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Data breach awards for local authority cases<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Data breach awards where there has been unauthorised access in a local authority setting can be substantial. The reason for this is because of the nature of the information that councils will hold, which could include financial information, medical details and even sensitive domestic data. Various departments within a local council will need access to such information, some of which could constitute as special category information that is specifically protected in accordance with the GDPR.<\/p>\n<p>Even what may be considered as a simple and straightforward data breach where there has been not much information affected, and the data is not too sensitive, could result in data claims awards of a few thousand pounds for the claimant. Where particularly personal and sensitive information is affected, perhaps private medical data, claims could be valued in the \u00a315,000 to \u00a325,000 region.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/data-protection-breach-compensation-amounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Data breach amounts and awards<\/strong><\/a> will normally be based on the extent of any distress that has been suffered by the victim.
