What is a GDPR Data Breach?
Under GDPR, a data breach is defined as an incident where a breach of security leads to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration or unauthorised disclosure of personal data. This includes both accidental breaches and deliberate actions.
Your Rights Under GDPR in Northern Ireland
The UK General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 govern how your personal information is used by a data controller.
You have the right to expect that your personal information is:
- Used fairly and lawfully.
- Used for limited, specifically stated purposes.
- Kept accurate and up to date.
- Stored securely and kept for no longer than necessary.
What is a data controller?
A data controller is an entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. They decide why and how such data should be processed, ensuring compliance with data protection laws.
If a data controller fails in their duties, mandated by GDPR, and you are emotionally or financially impacted by that failure, you may have a claim for compensation due to the misuse of your data.
Common examples of data controllers include:
- Employers and universities.
- The government and public sector bodies.
- Financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies.
- Healthcare providers such as hospitals or GP clinics.
