The following is an email I sent to USPSA and Dave Thomes' response.  
I wanted clarification because I post classifer results on these pages 
and I've seen where others who do the same 
who  take the extra time to remove the hit factors, and in some cases, 
the hit factor, time and score (so the hit factor cannot be calculated 
for the shooter).

Hi Frank,

First, please change my address in your address book to dave@uspsa.org so
that my responses to your messages won't be delayed by the need for Staci to
forward them. Thanks.

Absolutely. The prohibition applies only to hit factors in our database that
are designated as the 100% score for that stage in that division. We don't
release it to slow down those who would be tempted to adjust their
performance to achieve a desired classification.
