They're not talking about "real-time" tracking...just data mining for addresses, phone numbers, etc.

I'm not sure it's a bad idea. If parent's paid their child support responsibilities, no one would be looking for them. For subscription services you have to give your ss#, DL (or other photo id), plenty of personal information. I don't think you're opting out of being sold to 'marketing' partners, so in this case maybe the marketing partner is a government agency -- or something like that.
