There is no such thing as setting a price tag on any one lawsuit. It would depend on the circumstances, the information revealed, your actual damages, etc.

First, how do you know someone gave out your info? Was it not without a warrant? Are you sure that you did not waive your right to privacy in applying for something like a loan or a credit card or an apartment lease, or trying to buy a new car?
If so, contact the Attorney General in your state and tell them what happened, they will investigate for you.
As to damages and amount of money: what damages did you suffer? Can you prove it? If not, you won't get very much/

That would depend upon what information was given out and what (if any) protections were provided in law for that information. For example, simply giving out your name without associating it with anything in particular isn't protected at all as your name is public information.
You mention the Privacy Act. That act only applies to the Federal government, not to private companies or individuals.
Warrants aren't used for publicizing information -- though once a warrant is served, the information on it is public information.

You will likely not get squat, unless it was done maliciously or with the intent to defraud.
All the sue-happy people on here are really starting to piss me off. If you want money, go out and ******* earn it. Quit trying to sue anyone who crosses your path.

I think you'd have to show how you were damaged. usually, this involves real hurt - business, professional reputation, etc. Just saying "I'm traumatized" probably won't work.
If it wasn't done with malicious intent, I suspect the case would be much harder.
