The ACM Code of Ethics (notably section 1.6 "Respect privacy") certainly forbids this sort of behavior. I'm still waiting for ACM to audit the practices of Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. and then apply penalties (conference and publication bans, membership revocations, digital library bans, etc.) as appropriate. At the very least they should call out examples of unethical behavior - which currently includes many common practices in tech companies.
