Well, there is no way of knowing for sure.  Your details will be on a
public whois database who just about anyone with an internet connection
can access (try doing a whois on your new domain name).

This, of course doesn't prove that they did not sell any information.  But
it does stop you from being able to prove that they did with the argument
that only they and you knew about the details.
