    First, ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

    Second, if you want our help you really need to give us more to go on. What were the circumstances where this info was revealed. Did your boss (and was this your direct supervisor or the company owner or what?) just go and say to others that jayroc has a drug problem or what?

    Maybe it was possible that co-workers needed to know for their own safety or for productivity purposes etc.

    What "privacy rights" do you think you have? If you want to know if you can sue your company, it is highly unlikely unless there is more to this. But you should be going to your HR dept to complain.
