did not belong to the customer, because the customer "voluntarily provided some information that was included" in the information given to the government, and that when Northwest "compiled and combined" this information with other data it "became Northwest's property."

So, would this be invalid if you were not only fill out the required boxes in the web form? Is Northwest actually keeping the data seperate from those who fill out non-required boxes? Sounds like a bunch of crap to me.
