Acxiom used to be a sizable vendor in the Skiptracing arena.[0] That's what debt collection companies would use when they wanted to get ahold of someone. If you couldn't get ahold of the debtor in question, you'd find out who he's related to or where he lives and call his brother, call his roommate, call his neighbor, etc.--all in an attempt to "contact" (read: harass) the debtor.
That should provide some insight as to what they might be doing with your Facebook data.
For reference, they're not too big in that particular space anymore. The largest one I'm aware of LexisNexis. And yes, that LexisNexis, the one you used to go to the library and search alongside JSTOR for academic articles.
