An investigation is underway into whether the Princess of Wales' private medical records have become the subject of an attempted data breach.
On Saturday, she was spotted for the first time since her surgery, walking alongside her husband, Prince William. Kate has been made aware of the potential data breach as patients are always informed if there are any suspicions that their private medical records have been accessed or shared in an unauthorised manner.No. Under the Data Protection Act 2018, it is an offence to obtain or disclose personal data without the consent of the data controller.
The Information Commissioner's Office is an independent watchdog, set up to uphold information rights.
