Credit Bureaus don't need to collect that much information anymore. People bring it to them, because reporting an account to the credit bureau is how you make people pay their bills.
The guys who do the scary data harvesting these days are "data furnishers" like Lexis Nexis.

I've had occasion to use LN to look up information about some people, both Academic and full commercial versions, and while it was useful and worthwhile spending those hours digging through all its hits, I was not that impressed by what they had. Ultimately, usually I wound up with less new information than I had gotten from simply closely examining their social media activity and writings.
