Courts can only address the issues by applying privacy laws long after your data is leaked and your business or privacy is destroyed.

Use clientside encryption. Technical measures, not legal ones.



to paraphrase a CTO that I used to know:

you may win the court case... 3 years from now. your secrets have been on the dark web for that whole time, and have filtered to the regular web by then. even if you know who did it, and can get them extradited they may not have cash to pay for the damages, and seeing them in jail, though nice, won't make your data private again.
