Joaquin Rivera, a private individual, learns that a private health-data analytics company, MedDataPulse, maintains a 2016 entry alleging a psychiatric treatment he underwent, an entry later expunged by a court in 2017. MedDataPulse continues to disseminate the entry to private insurers and potential employers. He files a petition for habeas data under A.M. No. 08-1-16-SC. MedDataPulse moves to dismiss, arguing that habeas data applies only to public records. In light of habeas data principles, discuss:   (a)whether habeas data is applicable to private data controllers and the proper remedy under A.M. No. 08-1-16-SC; (b)the scope of relief, including the effect on third-party recipients and any notice or restraints on further use; (c)the role of the Data Privacy Act in relation to habeas data and any potential conflicts or limitations.
