Who do they sell data to ? The phrase 'selling data' always seemed handwavy to me. What products/services can you make from that data ? Forecasting ? Customer tracking ? Wouldn't deanonymization make the service illegal or is that a grey area ?

Or with the technical chops to exfiltrate.

Banks and marketing organisations are a major customer. So are skip-tracers, collections agencies, and scammers (who can build impressive profiles of gullible marks based on purchasing / spending habits).
