Yes, but you might also want to include their employing agency [normally there is a time limit in which a claim against a public entity must be made]. But what damage occurred to you aside from invasion of your privacy. You do not give us any facts to determine if much of a suit exists.

Sure you can but will you win? The burden of proof and evidence of injury is on you.

If the information was divulged to someone without permission, as long as you did not share it through social media, I think you would have a claim for invasion of privacy.
