But here's the thing: this kind of personal data is used daily by many companies. There's a table in a bank/telco/etc where they have your full name, your ID number, your address, your age. Any worker who has access to this (thousands of people who need that kind of access to do their jobs and to provide you with services) could've done something similar.

Recruiters are particularly stalkey sometimes with the way they keep calling your personal number without warning. While I don't understand if Subway really needs to share that much data with the person who makes your sub, the reality is that there's nothing privacy laws can do to stop some creep who works somewhere that deals with data from stalking one of their customers.

Edit: the case might be here that Subway doesn't really need to handle that kind of PII, but that should be on principle I think. The creep using that kind of data is a bit incidental.

Temp agencies are actually the WORST. If you do hiring and they get your cell phone number you are hosed.
