Passing that information on so you also get information back from many other car companies. There are laws about opening mail and people get sent to jail for it.....

Nice analogy, but wouldn't it be more accurate if you replaced "letter" with "postcard"? And it wouldn't be the postman having a look, but the sorting office. I'm not sure that any laws would then be broken.
