Is there a cause of action if a contest sponsor leaked my personal information?
<p>I entered into a free contest in Canada but I did not win. But when I searched for my own email address, I found a public Google docs that contains the address, date of birth, email, name, and phone number of around 79,000 entrants. Clearly this is wrong and unreasonable - no organization should be negligent like this.</p>

<p>Thus what can I do? How do I tell all these other people of this breach of privacy?<br>
 I have taken a screenshot of this Google doc. </p>

<p>In Australia, email addresses, like street addresses are not personal information and are not protected by the Privacy Act (which doesn't cover all businesses in any event)</p>
