In Australia, this sort of software has been available to businesses (the first ones to start using it extensively were real estate agents) for years. I find it interesting that, in spite of fairly stringent privacy legislation a few years ago, the legislation doesn't seem to extend to this sort of software.
The legislation means that the Australian Lace Guild is no longer allowed to circulate a list of member's names and addresses, or give a member the phone number of another one. It also means that, unless authorised, one partner is not allowed to discuss an account (such as the phone bill) if the account is in the name of the other partner...or advise change of address etc. But, businesses can still track the address through the phone number!
