The appropriate behavior, methinks, is to trap the requested
information (if it all seems like a reasonable request), file it for
yourself, and to inform the other side that you will turn it over when
summoned by a court (or whatever makes you comfortable.)
That's what the telcos do with phone numbers such as someone making a
harassing call to you right this moment (eg, you call them on another
phone), I think the term is "wire record", they trap the info and file
it appropriately and await a proper (legal) request. It seems
reasonable.
