This can be relevant to the strength and value of the claim.

If personal information was sent to the wrong person but was deleted quickly, not shared further and caused little lasting impact, the claim may be more limited.

However, each case depends on the facts. The type of information matters. A brief disclosure of highly sensitive medical, financial, safeguarding or address information may still cause serious distress, even if the recipient says they deleted it.

Havard Law Solicitors can review what was disclosed, who received it and how it affected you.
