> This data doesn't seem that sensitive or difficult to obtain via other methods

So it's ok because there's more than one there's more than one way to get the data?

It's ok because there is no law or policies preventing it. The information is not that sensitive and is only provided to the parties authorized under the law and only for the purposes authorized under the law.

I would like to see privacy laws overall change, but I don't see any issue with the DPPA law.
