Assuming that by "sifting" you are referring to a technique for data mining - sifting per se is not a crime, but you have to have the data to sift in the first place. It is all to common to acquire the data illegally that is being sifted. When the data being sifted is information on people and their on-line activities for example, it is actually illegal in many jurisdictions to collect that data in the first place. This is especially true after the passage of legislation in Europe to protect personal privacy.
