I saw an article awhile ago that the police just straight up bought ad-network data about someone they were prosecuting without needing a warrant. Is there anyway to know what info ad networks have on me out there?

I know there are databrokers you can query to see what they have kn you, but those are all public records from I could find so far

Looks like this is more B2B and requires you to contact them to purchase data. Who knows if they even have data on me.

Someone made a comment here that, from what I understand, that it would be almost impossible to accomplish this
