GDPR, Data Protection & Data Breach

Businesses, government bodies and many other organisations collect, process and store an increasing amount of information and personal data about members of the public.

A number of laws have been introduced in Ireland and across the EU to protect people’s personal data, but breaches can still happen, putting individual’s data at risk.

It is important to understand that your data protection rights in Ireland are protected under legislation such as the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the Data Protection Act 2018. This is especially true if you have reason to believe your personal data may have been exposed following a data breach.
