It is not advisable to obtain and use someone else's data without their consent, as it is a violation of their privacy and could have legal implications. Best practices would include obtaining explicit written permission from the data owner, as well as limiting access to the least number of people possible. Additionally, data should only be used for its intended purpose and any personally identifiable information should be secured with strong encryption or made anonymous prior to use.

It is never acceptable to obtain and use someone else's data without their consent, whether that be stealing personal information from a database or using someone else's identity for financial gain. Best practices would dictate that you should always ask for explicit permission before using or obtaining data from any source, even if it is available in the public domain. Failing to get permission can result in legal action, so it is generally better to err on the side of caution and make sure all necessary permissions are acquired before moving forward with any data acquisition project.
