Privacy laws focus on protecting personal data, and the “notice and consent” principle plays a major role in that protection. It’s the legal concept that businesses must inform you about data collection and get your agreement before using your information. You’ve probably seen it in action – those pop-ups asking you to accept cookies or the fine print buried in a user agreement.
But when a company suffers a data breach, questions start flying. Was the consent real? Did they disclose the risks? And most importantly, what can you do about it? Data breach lawyer Jibrael S. Hindi is ready to explain your options. Use our online form to get in touch.
You trust businesses with personal details, from your name and address to financial information. The moment you provide that data, companies claim you’ve “consented” to their policies. But did you really? Many companies bury key details in legal jargon, making understanding how they’ll use your information difficult. Others push vague privacy policies that fail to mention how long they keep your data or who they share it with.
When a data breach happens, companies scramble to point to their “terms and conditions,” claiming that you agreed to the risks. But real consent isn’t about clicking “agree” on a page you never read. It’s about knowing what you agree to and making a clear choice. If a company failed to explain its data practices or didn’t get proper consent, a data breach attorney can challenge that failure.
A company’s responsibility doesn’t end with getting consent. Privacy laws demand more. Businesses must secure your data, update their security measures, and react quickly when hackers strike. Yet, many companies cut corners. They store sensitive information in outdated systems, fail to encrypt data, or ignore security warnings. When a breach happens, customers are left picking up the pieces.
Your personal data falling into the wrong hands can lead to fraud, identity theft, or financial loss. But proving a company mishandled your information takes legal firepower. A data breach attorney can analyze whether the business truly protected your data or left it vulnerable. You may have the right to compensation if they failed in their legal duty.
A data breach lawyer will hold companies accountable when they cut corners or fail to protect your rights. If a business claimed to secure your data but didn’t follow through, that’s not just negligence – it could be a legal violation. An attorney with The Law Offices of Jibrael S. Hindi will investigate whether the company was reckless with your personal information and fight for justice on your behalf.
You don’t have to accept a company’s excuses. Jibrael S. Hindi will review the situation, determine if the company violated your rights, and fight to pursue the compensation you deserve.
