The report suggests that law firm believes that each passenger may be able to claim £1250.
Looks like this will be a new opportunity for all those PPI claim firms when that well dries up next August … "Have you suffered a GDPR data breach? Did you know you can claim £1250? No Win, No Fee!".
It has been noted upthread that a data breach doesn't automatically entitle the individuals affected any form of compensation, I'm fairly sure that the good people of SPG know this too.
