In Sweden anyone can look up where you live. And your earnings. And your grades from school. All government data is public, unless it is secret. (If you live under serious threats you can apply to get your data classified, in which case it is only allowed to be handled by people with clearance for that, which tend to make your life a bit complicated.)

Except maybe lowering the market value of address registers.
