My experience with young people is they think nothing of googling someone.
Example. 25yr old always G Earth the presons address, searches other sites,FB, etc As ROUTINE. New male client comes in she openly tells coworkers about her results.

My comment demonstrated my discovery that I am not surprised it was from a young person.
Google lets a nosey person be nosey in private and anonymously. It is still not desireable.
Young people ( and some older ones) Google everything and think it's all the same. That was my point. Nobody my age tells me or my peers "Hay, I just found out our new manager is divorced and has 3 kids,and used to work for botuniverse.com."
I would directly ask that person "why on earth did you want to find that out!?!?"
Perhaps this is a generational think....
Privacy has been dead for a while. What you call nosy, I call cautious, curious and well-informed.
Would it surprise you, that I, for example, looked up judiciary cases on some of my employees?
Do you find that gauche as well?
Your staff using client information to look up non-necessary information about them to satisfy their interests is a massive breach of privacy. In most places with an official privacy policy, that would violate it. Particularly just to gossip with coworkers!
I hope I never do business with your office. Just ick.
Sometimes she does it on her own time. Often though she will at home off the clock.
Makes is sick actually. We never share any thing personal,ever.
