Most likely you've now been added to a list. Expect hassles in the future.

This is outright wrong. Did they give you a privacy act notice? Did they tell you what would happen to your info?

Realistically, you brought a legal item on board. It was cleared. There was absolutely no reason that they needed your personal info.
