Data Protection Disputes
Our data protection lawyers provide assistance and support to clients who have suffered harm due to organisations or companies mishandling personal data. Organisations collect and store a considerable amount of sensitive personal information that must be responsibly safeguarded.
Industry regulations and guidelines establish a set of principles to guide the collection, processing, storage, and use of personal data by public and private sector organisations. However, public entities such as the National Health Service, the police, and local authorities sometimes violate these rules, exposing us to various risks:
- Retention of inaccurate, outdated, or unnecessary information;
- Disclosure of confidential data;
- Data security breaches by hackers;
- Use of data beyond the intended purpose.

FAQ
Data protection disputes can involve improper management, unauthorised access, or misuse of personal data.
When personal data is compromised due to unauthorised access, cyberattacks, or system vulnerabilities, affected individuals may have the right to initiate legal proceedings against the responsible organisation for the protection of their data.
Companies that fail to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or other applicable data protection laws may face penalties or investigations by competent authorities.
Additionally, disputes can arise when personal data is collected, processed, or shared without appropriate consent or when transparent privacy policies are not provided.
To mitigate the risk of data protection disputes, companies can take several measures:
- Adhere to national and international data protection laws;
- Implement privacy policies;
- Maintain transparent privacy practices;
- Provide regular staff training.
By adopting proactive measures to protect personal data, the likelihood of disputes can be reduced, demonstrating a proactive commitment to data protection.
