Are the police authorized to disclose my information to another individual?

My seven-year-old daughter’s father had her for a visit today. He had then hit here, whereupon she called me, and I rushed over there to pick her up. I had also contacted the police for help. They needed all of my contact data and address twice. When I finally got my daughter, I came to know her father had filed a custody case. As he does not know where my address (my new home was purchased recently), I knew he had gotten this information from the police.
