It's possible to draw a distinction between corporations and people, Hobby-Lobby notwithstanding. You could argue, self-consistently, that people have a right to the information about them, while corporations (as a legal fiction) have no such right. In your example, Equifax's CEO would have no recourse to negative press about Equifax, but he would have recourse to negative information about himself, which he kinda does under existing libel & slander laws, though truth is an absolute defense for those.
The EU operates under similar provisions, which as an ex-Googler and tech entrepreneur I find pretty annoying, but as a person find pretty encouraging.
(There are issues even under this distinction that are problematic: if you commit a crime, does the public have a right to know? What if your crime puts them at risk? If you have a reputation for screwing your business partners over, should future business partners have a right to seek this out? But at the same time, there are huge negative externalities to not being able to control this information. If a company has false information on you - as happens pretty frequently - do they have a right to sell it to so many parties that correcting it becomes impossible?)
