The frequency of privacy rights-related insurance claims in the first half of 2026 has doubled relative to 2025. To illustrate how far these lawsuits travel, we saw the first CIPA claims filed by Coalition policyholders in the UK and Australia this year. When we analyzed privacy claims for our 2025 report, we had not received a single Shah-related claim. By mid-2026, Shah outpaced all law firms combined in demand-letter volume, with especially sharp spikes in November 2025 and June 2026. In fact, 72% of H1 2026 claims involved law firms we had not previously seen in privacy rights claims.
