Do your users know what information you collect, and what for? If they don't, you're being creepy. Here's the same thing taken to a logical extreme:

"I shoot this sex tape myself with my camera, climbed my tree on lawn, zoomed with my long focus lens, stored it in my computer. It's my data. If they don't like it, they should have pulled their curtain."

There must be a threshold somewhere. When does it stops being acceptable, and starts being creepy?

Your procedure sounds like the work of a private investigator. Not everything creepy needs to be illegal.

I'm pretty sure in my country (France), only the police may peep through windows with optical instruments. The work of a private investigator you speak of may very well be illegal, assuming the investigator is not an on duty police officer.

Public places are one thing (he entered this building with that woman at this hour). Looking through private property is another.
