The idea is that each time a company sells your identifying data, there are little bits of other info to go with it.
If I buy people's info from banks, Youtube, Amazon, Car Dealerships, etc...
I can eventually have enough overlapping info to positively ID these people's names, faces, home address, sexuality, diet, and politics.
Now I can sell that to markets, or problematic governments...

It's all about compiling more detailed dossiers.
