2011, contracting for a web marketing agency I came across a tool they used that aggregated data from Market, Salesforce and data brokers.
You could put someone’s email in, and it would tell you every bit of info they ever filled out on a form for a sale or a freebie.
Name and address were often there, sometimes DoB, sometimes other PID, then there was shopping habits and history etc.
It was creepy as fuck. I dropped Facebook and twitter at the time. And I never filled a form or answered any questions at a till again. Then I started blocking trackers.
