Applying to Other Colleges During Gap Year

My friend is currently considering applying to other colleges while she defers her year from college. I am trying to convince her that this is a terrible idea because she risks getting rescinded if her university finds out that she’s applying else where (it is against her college’s deferral guidelines).

She says that her uni won’t find out because colleges cannot share who applies to their institution if she only sends FAFSA to that one school. My question is, what IS stopping her from applying to other colleges during her gap year if colleges CANNOT share who applies to their institution due to privacy reasons. Cuz idk what to say.
