Tracks what? The fact that you exist? That's public record.

They aggregate every piece of information they can get out of every database they can access about you.

That's definitely not true. There is all kinds of information about me out in the world that does not appear in my equifax credit report.

The only thing that's in there outside of financial information is my name and a list of places I have lived.

The fact you don't know about it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I have to laugh a little at the naivete of thinking that a credit reporting company shows you everything they know about you on a credit report. They don't even show you everything they show loan companies who pull your report.
