I'd say that the more general problem is that we all had privacy at one time due to the difficulties in gathering/parsing/storing. People used to be able to expect that their criminal record was somewhat private, that private conversations in public places were private, that their locations were private. 'Forgotten' can be interchanged for 'private' in these cases.
There was no real protection in terms of law, just in terms of practicality.
The great irony of modern times is that the sea change was schlepped in with the market for advertising, not your local Stasi. Of course, the cops are happy to use it if it exists.
