Absolutely NOT! I feel very strongly about this for several reasons. First, it's an invasion of privacy; Second, there are companies out there that are selling 'everything' someone, or any company wants to know about that person for the membership cost of $39.
When checking into my own background, even without paying the money, it's amazing how much information you can obtain. I had also forward that info to my sister, and she went into a tirade when I told her about it and she looked.
I believe that this is what many companies are doing before inviting people for an interview, which is very sad for all those applying for employment. Of course a major corporation would never admit to stooping that low, but the Web site makes the offer of 'pre-employment' screening. They can find out every credit card you have, or had, where you worked, where you live, phone numbers listed, where you're bank accounts are and the list just continues and they can also check to see if or not you've ever been arrested.
So, my answer has to be no.

We live in a free market Capitalistic society. Information is becoming a great valuable commerce. People who provide goods and services are interested in pinpoint marketing to those who desire such goods and services. Banks have the information of how you save and invest your money. This is valuable information to people who want to know if you can afford them or if your investments show a correlation to there own goods and services. Every time you shop at a store the receipt gives you coupons and advertisements from things that are in competition with the ones you just bought. In some cities like Las Vegas they have cards that give you discounts automatically they also keep track of your purchases so they can sell that information to advertisers who will send you their junk mail and email.
Isn't it grand. Yes this also increase the possibility of identity theft. But on the upside this entire system is about to feed upon itself. The greed factor that started capitalism will be the source of its demise.

No, they should not nor should anyone else. I was amazed when I started getting junk mail. The State of Texas has sold my info. Who even reads junk mail? I don't want to be solicited. I will find what I want on my own. Save a tree!

NO! God I am sick of people from other companies calling the house because the bank gave them my information.

Of course, no! It is bad ethics to divulge such info, without express consent of the party concerned!
