Yes, I think it's different.
If a company kept that data to themselves for purposes of ensuring bills are paid or other transactions acceptable to the partners, then no problem. All parties agree.
When the data is collected and pooled and/or resold to parties potentially unacceptable to the profiled person then it's absolutely beyond acceptable and at that point is an invasion of privacy (i.e., unreasonable search).
