That's how a database works. It's a server. All information are stored in there, so of course, one who has access to that server, can access information. This applies in corporates too, they can look at what you're doing on your computer. Whether they are allowed to or not, I am unsure as to the legality of that. However, if you do something that is obviously against their agreement, I believe they're allowed to monitor your actions.
Database admins = access to all information
Network admins = able to see who is going in / out of network and controls flow
