If there was a violation, it is a civil issue, not criminal. Nonetheless, you can sue anyone. The real question is what will happen if you do?

Have you been damaged as a result of the company's slip of the tongue? Probably not. In today's age, it is relatively simple to find out the same information elsewhere either from your credit card bills, online databases, admissions in court, and the like. You will have to prove damages in order to collect anything in court which may be difficult to do.
