But that fundamentally doesn't matter in the least. I don't care what they do; but they cannot get access to my data without my approval. And they're definitely not getting my approval without some really good justification.

It's my data; I have no obligation to anyone else(*) to disclose anything about it.

(*) legal restrictions aside -- which is vastly different from someone who wants your data claiming they're legally entitled to it.
