In my country, the following information is available about each citizen, only a google search away: Name, Personal Number, Address, Convictions, Income (Actually all taxation information), Vehicle ownership. In many cases, pet ownership. Not searchable online, but an email away: All your grades (end of highschool through university). Drawings of your house for surveyor purposes (never had a reason to try this) How differently we view privacy.
