I read your comment of "and law enforcement" as implying non-law enforcement can also purchase location data "regularly" and "cheaply." What's an "individual?"

I read your comment of "and law enforcement" as implying non-law enforcement can also purchase location data "regularly" and "cheaply."
What's an "individual?" Does it really make a difference if it's you or your LLC requesting my data?
I have no - ok, maybe some - doubt that mobile internet service providers are selling "anonymized" and "aggregate" location data - but I seriously doubt they are selling individualized location data of a specific phone number to anyone who pays the right amount of money.
I'm not trying to be daft; if I'm wrong I would really like to know the details of how/where this is possible, and also how I can opt out of it.
