More details to this question:
I am building a house in Atlanta and my builder knew things about me that I didn't disclose to him. When I asked how he knew that detail of my life, he told me that he googles all his clients. I wasn't aware that was his business practice and I was wondering if it was a violation of my civil rights/civil liberties.

As far as I know, anybody is at liberty to research any publicly available information. It is a common, and eminently sensible, practice for people who are about to engage in a business transaction to "google" the other party.
