GLOSSARY
So-called ‘super-injunctions’ refer to court orders which prohibit reporting the fact of the order (ie that an injunction exists at all). They gained particular notoriety in the media between 2010 and 2011, although only a small handful were ever actually granted by the courts in that time. ‘Anonymised injunctions’ were generally more common, although since 2011 applications for injunctions (anonymised or otherwise) have been few and far between in English courts.
PRACTICE NOTES
The tort of misuse of private information is focused on ‘the protection of human autonomy and dignity—the right to control the dissemination of information about one’s private life and the right to the esteem and respect of other people’ (Campbell v MGN). In most cases, as in Campbell, the only alleged ‘misuse’ is the wrongful publication, or threatened publication, of personal information to the world at large. The defendant is often a media organisation and/or a person seeking to disclose information through the media. However, a misuse of private information claim may be brought in respect of information disseminated less widely if that would unjustifiably interfere with the claimant’s right to respect for privacy under article 8 of Part I of Schedule I to the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA 1998). This gives effect to the rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). However, the tort is not confined to publication of information, as the so-called ‘phone hacking’ litigation illustrated.
PRACTICE NOTES
This Practice Note focuses on the remedies available in respect of misuse of private information (whether it be for an actual or threatened publication or for the method by which personal information has been obtained) and breach of confidence (in the context of the disclosure of personal information). Damages and an injunction are the most common remedies sought. However, since the law relating to misuse of private information/breach of confidence covers a wide range of factual situations, the courts will adopt a flexible approach to remedies. What this means is that, on the facts of one case, an injunction preventing the threatened disclosure of information will be the most important remedy to give effect to the claimant’s right of privacy, whereas in another case the defendant may have already made an unauthorised disclosure of the information and received a commercial benefit from doing so. In the latter case, the appropriate remedies may be damages or an order for an account of the profits, an injunction to restrain any further publication and an order for delivery

In brief In summary, data protection law in the EU is intended to ensure information about living individuals (within the definition of ‘personal data’) is used fairly and responsibly. To help ensure that, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (EU GDPR) imposes a large number of obligations on those ‘processing’ personal data, and on the controllers of such processing, when they are in the scope of the relevant regime. They also grant rights to those whose personal data is processed (the ‘data subjects’). ‘Processing’ includes doing almost anything with personal data, including storing, sharing, deleting or using it. It is virtually impossible to operate a business or other organisation without processing personal data. Among other things, the ‘controllers’ of personal data processing are required to provide certain information to data subjects, such as to ensure they know why their personal data is being collected, how it is being used, who it is being shared with, and their own key rights (that is called the ‘right to be informed’). That
