    Simple legal advice, you cannot sue anyone unless you can prove that they have caused you to suffer a loss.
    For a court to consider the matter, the loss you have suffered should not be trivial or insignificant.



    There are several possibilities to 'sue' without a tangible financial loss.


    Injunctions are the most common, but there are others - such as data breaches.

    But the OP said they want to claim compensation - I thought that a data breach was a type of loss?
