GDPR claim evidence
What turns a data breach into a claim

Not every data incident creates compensation. MeData looks for a real misuse, leak, exposure or mishandling of identifiable personal data plus evidence of distress, financial loss, fraud risk, time spent resolving the issue or poor handling after the complaint.

01
Useful evidence
Breach notices, screenshots, emails, fraud alerts, bank issues, complaint replies and impact notes.
02
Impact
Financial loss and distress need to be described clearly and linked to the data incident.
03
Process
The first step is a structured complaint and evidence pack before escalation is considered.
