In U.S., there are very few restrictions on private companies than on the government about collecting data about individuals. This is because activities like buying of books, getting a video, seeing a movie in theatres or eating in restaurants have been viewed as public activities of individuals. These are essentially not bothered with by laws in U.S.. Again, lending organizations are very much interested in the financial information of potential customers, and this data is often shared among the lenders. Again while the restrictions about privacy rights for the government is protected by different laws, the consumers can sign away their rights for the commercial organizations most of the time. This is often signed away in the end user license agreements. (Personal Privacy for Computer Users)
