Since no system exists so that one can confirm the security of personal data, well, many don't even realize when they give others the right to access that data. For example, any tax company that submits your tax return electronically to the IRS also can legally use your confidential data. They have everything on your return, in electronic format, and legal access to that information. Why do so many companies offer to file your returns for free? Because access to your confidential records is their profit source.
