Is it ethical(or legal) for an HR to delay permanent contract and notify your team mates about your new assets? [closed]

I was with this company where I pass the probationary period and they gave me a contract for permanent position after 2 weeks of the said period. Say my probation period duration is until October 1 then they gave me the permanent contract on October 17 is this legal?

Unfortunately I made(or they made me) mistakes due to my skill set was not parallel with the task -I'm a software developer, and they made me do some QA level tasks within my waiting period of my permanent contract. I don't have any training just an orientation regarding their basic policies(Eg. wearing ids, logging in and out).

Then after i signed the permanent contract, after a week, I literally hand my sealed letter for a request for a requirement for my housing needs to be pass to the accounting department. And after a day or 2 my office mates are buzzing about my housing that I don't even shared to them. The document that i hand to the HR deals with tax and it states that it is needed for the housing. My co-workers thinks that I'm rich so they act insecure but honestly its a family shared house.

My Questions are: Is it ethical(or legal) for an HR to delay permanent contract? And Notify your teammates about your new assets?

Thanks in advance

No, it's not ethical for your personal information to be shared with anyone who doesn't need to know it as part of their role without your permission. It's also very unprofessional.

Many companies would view this as a serious breach of employee confidentiality and security protocols.
