I never share data about living people unless I know the person receiving the data very well and have informed them, and they agreed, not to put the data on the internet or any other public place. Passing information about living people to distant (and sometimes not so distant) relatives without stating the conditions is asking for trouble. Casual acquaintances even if they are relatives does not assure anything unless you "know" they will comply with your wishes. -- Robert Blair
