The Southend-on-Sea City Council data breach in 2023 exposed sensitive personal information, leaving many individuals vulnerable to identity theft and emotional distress. This incident, caused by a human error involving an accessible spreadsheet, underscores the importance of robust data protection under GDPR.

This article outlines the critical aspects of claiming compensation, empowering you to take action and seek justice.

Understanding the Southend-on-Sea City Council Data Breach

In 2023, the Southend-on-Sea City Council inadvertently published a spreadsheet containing sensitive personal data, accessible to anyone with basic spreadsheet knowledge. This breach compromised confidential information, potentially exposing individuals to risks like fraud and identity theft.

Under the GDPR, organisations must safeguard personal data, and failures, such as this human error, can justify Southend-on-Sea GDPR claims. Victims may be entitled to compensation for financial losses or non-material damages, like distress or anxiety caused by the breach.
