What could be a media data breach compensation?
A media data breach compensation claim could arise where a person’s information has been misused or exposed in a media setting without clear and proper consent. There are public interest arguments where people could be featured in the media generally, such as on TV or in publications, but this does not necessarily constitute a breach. It can come down to the context of what has happened and what information is affected, and whether such data could – and should – have been protected from disclosure.
Consent can be a key factor, and the nature of the information involved is also a considerable thing to note. The best advice we can give is to speak to the team here now and we can see if your circumstances is something that could lead to a claim for compensation.
