Do you mean your data in this forum or another platform, like your phone, email, bank? Or maybe you mean a professional person has broken confidentiality?

All those. Child.

Rather depends who it was and how they got hold of the information. If you had provided the data to a business who has done something that was in breach of the data protection act then you could report them to the information commissioners office

Perhaps you could talk it through with someone like Citizen's Advice so you can clarify what's happened and work out your options?
