The way I understand it, when you do a merger or an acquisition, you need to have some data and information about officers, about the business they're in, and so on, and some of this information needs to be—the argument goes—“access without consent”, because otherwise they'd become aware of what's going on. So there are those kinds of issues here. Again, you're going to hear the other side of the argument, that it's because of this personal information that you don't want to share those arguments.
