That collects data on 110 Million US Households.
This company sells this data to help retail companies select their store sites. They have 8.5 Terabytes of data in-house and claim to model to the street level. They can keep tabs on up to six individuals per household.
All the major retailers use this service.
It would not take much of a mandate for the database to be sold to the US Government under the guise of rooting out terrorists.
