How to Claim Compensation for the 2019 Hack
In 2019, Deezer, a popular music streaming service, was hacked, and more than 230 million user records were offered for sale on the dark web. This incident also affected 14 million German users. According to Article 34 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Deezer should have informed its users about the data breach. If you were affected by this incident, there is a way to claim compensation of up to €5,000 from Claimback — all without any financial risk.
We offer our users the opportunity to assert claims against companies such as Deezer that have failed to adequately protect your data in such a case. All you need is legal protection insurance to cover you against the legal costs. If you are entitled to compensation, Claimback will cover the costs of the partner law firms who will pursue the case on your behalf.
We understand that it can be difficult to pursue claims for compensation on your own, and that going up against large companies can often be an intimidating experience. However, with Claimback, you can rest assured that you are not alone. Together with our renowned partner law firms, we enforce your rights and stand by your side.
Legal Background
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has come into effect in the European Union, regulating the protection of personal data of EU citizens. The GDPR requires companies to process and protect personal data securely. Companies that violate the GDPR can be fined heavily. However, affected users also have the right to claim compensation for the damage they have suffered.
In the case of the Deezer hack, the affected users were exposed to a high risk as their personal data was offered for sale on the dark web. This included sensitive information such as email addresses, passwords and payment information. As an affected user, you have the right to compensation for the damage suffered, such as costs for identity theft protection or financial losses due to fraud.
Our goal is to help our customers enforce their right to data protection. We strive to provide our clients with the best possible experience and ensure that they are kept up to date throughout the process. We treat each case individually and provide everyone with personalized advice and support.
