Here we are talking about an EU legislation that is valid in all EU states, but similar laws exist in US and other countries. Keeping and processing some person data without their knowledge and allowance is simply not allowed - and I definitely think that IMEI is something that can identify me as an individual. All my expenses, everything I buy using my telephone is stored at my operator using the unique identifier (IMEI + phone number) an later on linked to all the remaining data they have. As I don't really mind if some programs have access to my IMEI number, storing and publishing it (without informing me) will not be tolerated.
