Anyone, whose personal information was compromised, leaked, or mis-used as a result of a data breach incident. You can make a data breach claim for compensation even if you haven’t suffered any loss (e.g. out of pocket expenses or emotional distress). The court of appeals in 2019 ruled that data breach claims are valid, even if someone hasn’t suffered as a result. If an organization does not protect your personal information as required by law, you can claim compensation for such data privacy breach, which may include financial loss, emotional distress and/or inconvenience suffered. Example: health record with sensitive disease was made public, which now causes financial harm by preventing you getting hired and also subjecting your personal life to distress and inconvenience as a member of a community.
