If they are out of business, they sell their assets which are office chairs, fax machines, and a giant database with information on everybody. Are you not worried about the sale of that data?

Their business revolves around selling access to that database. So no, not worried about them selling data that they already sell. Very annoyed that they exist to collect & sell the data, of course.

Isn't the potential impact from selling access to the data versus selling the data different?

In a situation like this, if they get bankrupted, the company continues to operate. The ownership is just transferred to the creditors.
