I see that whois.domaintools.com displays my personal data from whois.bluehost.com.
As I know it's illegal in European Union without registrar's permission. So I ask you, do you sell your client's data?

No. Domain registration information is public information in the U.S. If you want, you may choose "domain privacy" from BH: http://www.bluehost.com/privacy.html

Do you have a source?
I think the opposite applies: I know that all German providers publish name and address of the owner of a domain, which can be confirmed using any whois service.
BH's privacy function is one reason, why have my website hostet at BH.
