Currently they are somewhat hidden. When GDPR came out in force, I tried removing my name, phone number and address from all kinds of public places, and I also found some local company that collects personal and behavioral information on people and provides it to other institutions to asses whether they want to do business with you or not. (banks, etc.)
They gave me the results of their algorithm for me personally, but refused to describe the algorithm. Results were kinda non-sense, but when I wanted them deleted, they told me that I may have trouble in the future with their clients, due to lack of information on me in their systems. Probably a scare tactic, but still annoying and concerning.
