Data Brokers?

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this here but I didnt find any better one (sorry if there is).

But, as we have all been indoctrinated by a million youtubers, our data gets sold by data brokers, my question is on where to find their websites, if thats even possible, and how they get all the information on us, if someone knows that too?
Ive looked through reddit and all that but couldnt really find a specific answer, but maybe i didnt look deep enough.
So if anyone knows more than me, pls lmk, im curious about that stuff for some days now, and someone else might be too.
Here's a list of commercial data brokers. https://www.optery.com/data-brokers/
Most of them don't collect it directly. They buy, trade, and merge data from public records, apps, websites, retailers, loyalty programs, and other brokers. That's why a single company can know far more about you than you'd expect.

In regards to where you can find... look into companies like Acxiom, Experian, LexisNexis, and Oracle Advertising. They aggregate data from hundreds of sources, then enrich it by linking identities across devices, emails, purchases, and public records. It's a surprisingly large industry.
