Imam Ghazali RA has said that ousting someone's personal secrets is also included in Namimah (badmouthing someone in front of someone else with an intent that the second person harms the one being badmouthed). If a person does not want his private matters to be disclosed to others then telling others about those matters is Hara'am (forbidden). It doesn't matter whether what he wants to keep private is something good or bad. For example, a person does not want others to know how much money he has. Now someone somehow finds that out and is now telling everyone about it. This is Hara'am and included in Namimah.
Rasool Allah SAW has said that Whatever is said in a private meeting is Amanat (Entrusted).
For example someone shares some secret matters with people in a private meeting believing them to be trustworthy. If one of them now shares that secret with people outside that meeting then he has committed a breach of trust and this is also included in Namimah.
