It was poor judgment on the part of the insurance company to release that information to your grandfather. I think that you concern is a violation of your privacy rights. There seem to have been damages in the form of your lost housing. The "all kinds of info" reference is what causes me to think that you should speak with an attorney about this. Good luck.
