I agree in principle, but is there an actual right to privacy in this instance?

I'm asking this in the legal sense, not a moral sense.

There is no right to privacy, but they may have an NDA. Also, if they get too specific, they could open themselves up to a libel lawsuit. Though, if they were consulting a lawyer I don't think there would be any release. Simply cut business ties, and move on, it happens all the time, and would leave room to patch things up later.
