i disagree - far more people will be inconvenienced if hotels start refusing to provide common sense information.. calling to check if your family member, friend colleague etc already arrived is fairly normal if people do not have other means of communication.
Should hotels refuse to transfer phone calls to individual rooms too if specific guest name is requested?
Violation of privacy would be disclosing personal information - cc dob etc, perhaps disclosing actual room number - doesnt seem to be the case here.
if op wants to hide from someone i d suggest staying at another hotel that is not known to that undesirable contact.
