Equivalent of FOIA Requests for Private Companies

1 answer from Jack R-W.
Is there any FOIA equivalent for private companies? In particular, I’m trying to find out what information a software company has on an individual, myself or anybody else.
In Canada there is PIPEDA, and the law allows you to request such personal information from private companies just like a government agency, but I can’t think of any equivalent in the U.S.
Anybody know of any less well known acts that could be used to request information from a private company?
Thanks,
Llew
