I think that the best thing to do would be for a class-action lawsuit from consumers of ToySmart for breach of contract. After all, not sharing the information could be considered part of the contract.
The best thing to do would be to start with an injunction against them selling the list.
And the lawsuit could also name Disney as the owner of ToySmart for not exercising proper governance (corporate governance is a concept that is really ready to be tried in the courts).
So they don't capture the entire fingerprint. So what???
Instead they capture a biometric (their 500 byte file). I can see two ways the forces of evil (read: the government) could use this:
No more anonymous computer use. After all if the computer knows who is using it because it identified you, it can transmit that.
Also, if the FBI finds a fingerprint, they could just run it through the same algorithm, giving them a 500 byte file and compare that to their database of fingerprints. This is probably very close to what they do right now.
