I have opted out more times than I can count now and I have never been asked for personal information. I do not doubt that some have, but not me. The recording of the data was more likely to the scene making, as you describe it, than the opt out.
IMO, never, ever do a private screening. What they do to me they can do in public. They look infinitely worse doing it that I do getting it.
It might be more telling if we had the details of the the scene she made in additional to the response. It sounds like the response was overboard, as it often is, but context would help.
