Chris Hoofnagle runs his own personal blog on privacy and also updates the EPIC West blog regularly.
He has recently posted about an ad that he saw in a publication for private investigators in California. Merlin Data is advertising that it can find you an address for an unlisted number, using information collected by pizza restaurants. See: EPIC West: Electronic Privacy Information Center West Coast Office: Merlin Selling Personal Info From Pizza Delivery Database.
(You may recall Merlin being mentioned on this blog in connection with a Choice Point-type incident: The Canadian Privacy Law Blog: Incident: Another data aggregator provides personal information to impostors.)
