This is nothing new. Keep in mind that if you hold or held just about any government or professional licence, your information is public anyway.
In the computer age, there is no hiding. You should simply strive to control the information out there on you by keeping public and private addresses, passwords, emails, and phone numbers. Any form you fill out for anything might eventually be sold or shared with someone, so keep this in mind.
I'm retired Army. I have no secrets. Inside or out, LOL!
