Has your personal data been compromised in a mass data breach? If so, don’t panic. Our team of experts is dedicated to protecting your privacy and ensuring those responsible are held accountable. From start to finish, we’ll guide you through the process to get the compensation you deserve.
Personal information describes any data that can identify an individual. Either on its own or alongside other information. Organisations that use our personal data have a legal obligation to keep it safe. This is important because criminals regularly use stolen personal information to commit fraud, blackmail, and identity theft.
A personal data breach happens when sensitive or confidential information is accessed, disclosed, or destroyed without authorisation. A data breach can have serious consequences for your privacy and security, so it’s important to take immediate action if you suspect that your personal data has been breached.
Even where cybercriminals are not responsible for a data breach, the results can still be devastating. Privacy violations caused by admin errors and poor data security processes can cause considerable distress, upset, embarrassment and harm.
At KP Law, we help groups of people make compensation claims when an organisation has not looked after their personal information correctly. This is called making a group action claim.
With a group action claim, you and the other victims join together and fight to get compensation. Group actions can be a powerful tool and can have a bigger impact than a single claim.
If you are a victim of a data protection breach, check out our current group actions to see if we are running a claim related to that specific breach.
If the action you want to join is not listed below, please contact us and tell us about it! Where enough people come forward, we may launch a new claim.
We do not take on individual cases.
Political and religious information
Racial, ethnic and sexual orientation data
Biometric data
Police, legal or criminal records
Employment information
Images and recording
Password and login data
Identity documentation

Big technology companies collect and use personal data to make vast sums of money. But when this data is misused, the consequences can be devastating. You can claim compensation if a technology company has breached your data protection or privacy rights.
Cybercrime is preventable. And, in most cases, online theft and extortion can only happen when an organisation fails to invest in proper security to keep your data safe. Our expert data breach lawyers can help you make a successful cybercrime claim against any organisation that has failed to protect your data from fraudsters and hackers.

While each case is judged on its own merits, there are some things we would typically look for when it comes to when claiming compensation following a data breach, cybercrime or other GDPR violation:
With stolen data, cybercriminals can make purchases using your bank and credit cards, apply for credit in your name, set up fraudulent bank accounts and access your existing online accounts.
GDPR failures, cybercrime and data breaches can have a significant impact on you, both mentally and physically. They can cause or exacerbate anxiety, stress and other psychological conditions.
Your data has value, and organisations must be held to account if they fail to protect your right to data privacy or otherwise do not uphold your GDPR rights.
