Your personal data is valuable & you have the right to protect it
If yours has been misused, talk to us about securing the best claim
Our personal data has become a valuable commodity which if misused can result in identity theft, fraud and other scenarios. We need to know that the companies we share that data with are using it as described when collected.
If you feel that you have been the subject matter of a data breach contact us, we can assist you in making a claim for compensation arising from the damage and distress caused by the Data Breach. Your claim for compensation, will be brought under The Data Protection Act and must be brought in the Circuit Court or the High Court. The upper monetary limit of the Circuit Court is €75,000.00. The High Court does not have a limit.
Because this is a relatively novel area of claim, there are few precedents, but fear not, we are quite experienced in this space and have already negotiated very successful outcomes for clients.
