I don’t know if the USA currently sells data. It appears to be illegal but the current administration doesn’t always play be the rules.
Have you ever used a phrase activated voice assistant (hey Google, Alexa, Siri). They are always listening in case you use the phrase. Amazon and Google both admit they record and stores voice data. Google sells ads based on search history.

So they aren’t, and the devices work exactly as expected. I’m not shocked.

Types you haven’t even thought of. Every type of data is sold, and then Derivatives of data are sold. Directly connected data, inferred data, guesses, it’s all packaged up.

Not to mention your general health status to insurance companies. Bad health score? Worse insurance deal
