Of course they aren't, because they're not required to, and money is money.
The fun part is that if it actually were restricted to collecting data for law enforcement? It would be a pretty obvious (though probably still not enforced because the courts suck) violation of your rights against searches without due process of law. But because it's "publicly available", they can pretend that it's not really a search.
