I could be. But where do they get the data?

If you really want to know, you’d need to get a copy of the paper.

University research on human subjects follow a number of elaborate privacy rules, including those of the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects. Researchers aren’t interested in our individual data; they’re interested in our data in aggregate for statistical analysis.

Researchers aren't interested in our individual data, but companies sure are interested in selling it....

Yes, of course. But that’s upstream from this research. The data would have existed regardless.
