You guys absolutely have written about her flirtations in this blog post, which everyone who saw that Facebook ad can now link back to her.
You said you didn't post any of her info online.. you ran a friggin Facebook ad campaign with her picture on it (which you obtained not from her)! Now you've just edited your comment to say you didn't post any other info about her that you obtained.
You did all this without her permission, according to your colleague. Now you're trying to weasel out of that too with ambiguous phrases like "she is aware". Yeah, after you told her what you already did.
Did it not even occur to you that it could be potentially embarrassing or invasive? What if she wasn't cool with it? What if she's just playing cool because you forced her hand? It's wrong of you to assume it's ok to cyberstalk someone for "fun" because your intentions are good -- your intentions being having a laugh with your bros.
The other point here, even if you think bro'ing out like this is perfectly acceptable workplace behavior / way to treat women, is that it's just incredibly stupid for a startup to tarnish their brand this way. Just don't do it.
