We advise individuals on how to enforce their rights against data controllers, such as to access their data, to object to or restrict processing, to rectify or delete their data, to obtain meaningful information as to how their data is processed, or to obtain redress when their data was unlawfully processed. We also support individuals in ‘right to be forgotten’ requests. We have a track record of success in representing individuals in court and regulatory challenges to uphold their rights.
We have unique experience of bringing strategic challenges that advance data rights, such as the agenda-setting online gambling case RTM v Bonne Terre [2025] EWHC 111 (KB), the Cambridge Analytica litigation and major platform accountability litigation against Meta.
