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.
