Insufficient information. What does a 'retail hall' mean to you? Is there any obligation of confidentiality between you and the 'retail hall?' Does the information given out include your social security number? To whom was the information given and for what purpose? Try a new question giving these details.

I don't know for sure. If sensitive information like date of birth, drivers license or social security numbers are involved.

As far as I know they can. I'm not sure what a retail hall is. It may depend on what business they are in. Regulations exist that prevent banks and medical clinics from releasing certain information. However, I know of no laws requiring retail businesses to protect customer information.

I have no idea what you mean by a "retail hall". If you define that term an answer may be forthcoming.

Unless there was something in the contract that states that it is to be held confidential, they can disclose it. It seems like an odd thing to do, business-wise as it could alienate one's own customers, but there is nothing illegal or tortious about it.
