Hi,
I participated an online boot camp not too long ago, and since the learning experience was really bad, I left there. Also I left some anonymous course review for this boot camp.However, the boot camp owner saw my reviews and revealed my personal information including name and email address on several public platforms. What he did brings me many risks in life and put me in danger. I just wanted to know, should I sue him in that situation? Can I let him give me some compensation since he leaked my information and put my life in danger?
Thank you

Legally, your name and email address are not confidential information: unlike, say, a social security or credit card number, this is not information which people are obligated to not disclose. Unless they signed a confidentiality agreement in which they contractually agreed to not share or publish this information, they are allowed to disclose it and are not liable for doing so. (If there was a confidentilty agreement and they violated it, you could sue for breach of contract.)
