It may sue the company for misuse of data in accordance with Privacy Rights.

Explanation:

All social networking sites and apps, without exception, have a privacy policy. Each of these applications or websites allows the user to create their profile in different ways, and collect different data and information from their users. From the moment of creating the user profile, it is forbidden for the company responsible for the site or the app to use personal information or data without the user's authorization. This data is private, individual and belongs to the user only. For this reason, in the case of Amber, we can state that Amber may sue the company for misuse of the data in accordance with the Privacy Rights.
