That issue is dealty with here by enforcing "garden leave" i.e. when you leave the sort of job where you have that information, you are not allowed to start working for another employer until a certain time period has lapsed, in order to render the information/contacts less useful. During that time, your former employer pays you a full wage. I never managed to swing it, myself ...
