It's an absolute indictment of the pervasive inadequacy of privacy laws that this information was able to be compiled in the first place.

I don’t think they went around people’s houses and measured them all like some kind of sexual doomsday book.

City is not considered personally identification data. So no law applies to it. Anyone you buy your dildus from can sell data based on city and size. Just not your address and name.

The sales numbers and distribution etc is considered their data not yours.

I think having exact numbers of who buys what (down to the city) is still too much information, but that's just my 2 cents
