National Public Data scrapes the personally identifying information of billions of individuals from non-public sources

Honest question: If these sources are non-public, how did National Public Data get access?

Facetious questions: If they are using private or restricted sources of data accumulation on an international scale, should they be calling themselves National Public Data? Seems like Global Private Data would be more fitting.
