it's not only a breach of privacy, but at least in germany, and probably the rest of the eu as well, illegal.
If they didn't ask for permission, it is indeed illegal in all of the EU. Directive EC95/46 clearly establishes that, and it was transposed into Finnish national law by way of the Personal Data Act (June 1999).

Maybe someone should contact the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman:
