Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

Hello,

A few weeks a go i had dinner at a local restaurant, while at dinner i found a cell phone that was left at one of the counters in the restaurant. I took it. Days later i started receiving calls to my personal cell phone. A male was calling me, txting me, and leaving voice mails accusing me of stealing his cell phone. As a result he had asked the restaurant owner for the video tape of that day at the restaurant, they both saw that it was me who had found the cell phone and had taken it. The restaurant owner happened to know who i was due to that we had previously hired her to cater at family event. I had provided some of my information to her at this previous catering event. therefore, she provided my cell phone number and address to this other client(cell phone owner) so i made a police report due to the calls, texts, and msgs i had been receiving from him. I turned in the cell phone to the police station and they gave it back to him. He has not bothered me again. however i do feel scared as he knows what i look like and live, and i had no idea what he might look like or who he is. So basically my question is.. is there anything i can do against the restaurant owner who realesed my information about me to a client? I mean, was it not suppose to remain confidential as it was provided to her only for bussiness? i fell as she put my safety as well as my familys at risk. It upsets me to know that she provided him information without my permission.
