At the very least, it\u2019s personal information, and likely financial information related to student fees and accommodation. But it can also be medical and sensitive information that the university may hold about you as part of managing your needs.<\/p>\n<p>If that kind of information is exposed, we know the distress that can be caused can be serious.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What can you claim for a university data breach?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You may be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.databreachlawyers.co.uk\/can-i-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>claim compensation<\/strong><\/a> for the distress caused by a university data breach, and for any financial losses incurred as well.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to know that you don\u2019t have to have suffered a financial loss to have a case, though. The distress alone can be more than enough to warrant a claim, and we often look at things such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The nature of the information that has been exposed (the more personal and sensitive, the more a case could be worth);<\/li>\n<li>How much information has been exposed (the more data exposed, the more a case can be worth);<\/li>\n<li>Who the data has been exposed to (the greater the exposure, the more a case can be worth).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>No-obligation claims advice <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We can offer you free, no-obligation advice if you\u2019ve been the victim of a university data breach incident.
