Q: How to report kfc corporate for giving my info out
Long story short I went thru kfc drive thru a was charged double. The manager slam the window in my face and said no refunds. I left a filed a complaint to kfc corporate. 3 weeks go by and I have 4 miss calls so I pick up the phone. It’s the girl who slam the window calling me from her personal phone number and said “corporate gave me your phone number and address” and she was once again aggressive. So my question is this legal ? Or even right? Why did this employee that I made the report on call me from her personal cell phone
A: Certainly legal. KFC never expressed to you that the information you provided them as part of your complaint would be kept confidential. Is it the right thing to do? That's a different question that the law can't answer. If this employee now uses this information to harass or threaten you, you may have legal remedies against her personally.

A:
What happened to you raises serious concerns about privacy and proper conduct. When you file a complaint with a company, your personal information should be kept confidential and used only for legitimate purposes, like resolving your issue. It's troubling that the employee you reported had access to your phone number and address, especially since she contacted you in an aggressive manner.
You may want to consider reaching out to KFC corporate again to report this breach of privacy. Explain what happened, emphasizing that the employee called you from her personal phone and that this made you uncomfortable. It's important to document this communication as well.
Additionally, you might want to seek legal advice to understand your rights and whether any laws were violated in how your information was handled. It's not just about whether this is right; it's about whether it's lawful, and a professional can guide you through the steps to protect yourself.
