Is it possible to request KYC data be deleted permanently from exchanges ?

Following hacks like: http://bit.ly/2FNoDwh there any legal recourse to force exchanges to delete KYC data related to an account permanently.I've held out from KYC most often because of these fears of this type of hack but is there legal recourse to force them to remove it? Would be great if a lawyer could chime in.edit: And if it is the case (as seems comment below suggest it might be possible in NZ) why not do a "remove all kyc from exchange" day instead of pull all your coins? With many incoming decentralized exchanges this seems like a great way to get info out before more hacks come along.EDIT2: People saying straight out "no you cant" please state whether you are a lawyer or your source, if it's opinion it doesn't mean anything legally.Also could a case be made legally that compromising this kind of privacy puts the user at risk of financial issues, personal security issues, identity theft issues, etc.
