Isn't this against some professional code they are bound by?

Not to my knowledge (this could vary greatly from one country to another).

They must not disclose private information concerning their patients, but this is precisely because they sometimes need to know very personal stuff in order to better treat and cure.

Doesn't disclosing it to a third party count?
