No it isn't. The originator of the account number, and thus the owner of that piece of information, is VM. The worry is that giving out the account number to just anyone would allow them to trigger VM to give them other information about the account which may well break the DPA.

This is, of course, a technicality. Giving out the account number effectively puts VM at risk of breaking the DPA and so will be banned by VM regs and VM Lawyers.
