PC Myles McHugh, former Detective Constable Hannah Rebbeck and Sergeant Mark Harper had no proper policing purpose for looking up the case.
McHugh was dismissed by a gross misconduct panel on Friday.
Rebbeck would have been sacked had she still been serving and Harper was handed a final written warning to last for three years.
PC McHugh accessed the information while off duty and for a significant period of time, while Rebbeck was found to have repeatedly accessed sensitive data without any link to her duties.
Sgt Harper was handed a final written warning,.
