I can give you a partial answer.

        Schools who receive any public money (especially if it can be
traced to federal sources) may not give out your academic records
without your written permission.  Included is a prohibition on
instructors' posting exam results and final grades.

        Similarly, your medical records cannot be released without
your permission, except perhaps by subpoena.

        I'm not sure about job records.  You get into a "freedom of
speech" issue here if you attempt to constrain one employer from
talking to another about a former employee.

        I hope that this was helpful.
