Is this database actually a thing ? A private company asking these questions is already worrying on its own but them already having the answer really feels like over-reaching. I'm pretty sure it's a US thing because there would be no way this would be legal in the EU but i'm tempted to do a GDPR request to PayPal

Some of it is credit report stuff, it some of it is public records like tax rolls.

You can look up an individual’s salary in Finland online whether they work public sector or not.

It’s all creepy, but like my name on the deed of my house not being a secret is a good thing.
