Re: lost data

If the lost data is used to steal your identity or any other illegal or damaging act, you may have a case against them for loosing your info. However, if the information is truly lost and never recovered bb anyone, there is no damage.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
