On the flip side, I sure wouldn't want a stranger having all that personal information about my daughter that she would need to write a rec.

With the exception of GPA and test scores if that's something you're giving out, I'd be really surprised if the information needed to do a rec isn't already publicly available someplace. I'm not saying this to freak you out, but if your daughters activities are in the high school yearbook and your name and address are in the phone book, and your daughter has lived a normal social life in your town, there's not a lot of super private information that this stranger is going to need.
And if you think about, they're sending all this information to strangers anyway.
