Everyone else here just said "no, can't be done", so I wrote what I might constructively attempt as a way to get in touch with the pax if my life depended on it.

I don't know that receiving an unexpected communication from an airline is all that brand-damaging. A pax has to have a way (e.g., email) to be notified about the reservation in the first place, and sometimes there are follow-up surveys, so if the flight itself is a "secret" the pax has to consider that.
Rather than being silly about this, why not read DL's privacy policy.

Even a DL employee with access to the information would be violating that policy and subjecting herself and DL to close to certain liability if she were to use the information for a purpose which DL does not specify in its policy.

Bottom line is that the information was not collected for the purpose the OP wants it used for an DL cannot, without creating liability for itself, use the information for another purpose.

Silly hypotheticals won't change that.
