Yes it is. Privacy is astonishingly bad here. You buy a house, your name, phone and address are a matter of public record. The phone companies are fighting at court against the FCC because they claim they can sell our location data, and the FCC fined them for it.
Not as a public record, but it is demanded as information for so many silly things. There’s the obvious medical records, for which it makes sense (certain diseases are more prevalent in certain ethnicities). But then schools, banks, … it’s mind boggling just how much they care about it. And except for medical records, there are basically no laws protecting your sensitive data, and it gets sold at incredibly low prices.
