Breach of Privacy Articles and News
If your private or confidential information is misused, it can cause you huge problems, with your personal relationships, your employer, or with business colleagues and contacts. Breaches of your privacy can mean that you are entitled to claim compensation from the person or organisation that caused the breach. This could be someone who has used images or videos that you told them were private, if someone has “outed” you as homosexual, or any disclosure of information about you which you are entitled to expect would be private, such as letters and text messages. If another person accesses your email or social media accounts, and uses the information they find against you, again that can be a breach of your privacy. If you want to protect your privacy, or to claim compensation from someone who you think has breached your privacy, or seek an injunction against them to stop further breaches of your privacy occurring, our expert solicitors can help you.
