A data breach may occur when your personal or sensitive information is changed, lost, shared, or accessed without your permission or a lawful reason. For example, this could be your name or home address. The defendant, often known as the data controller or data processor, is the responsible party for the exposure of your personal information.

The law stipulates that one may claim for the material damage of the breach, like losing money, and the non-material damage, such as suffering from any distress and anxiety caused by the data breach.
If data protection law is breached, GDPR allows you to claim compensation from the organisation or service responsible who should have been properly protecting your data.
