    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

        The word “who” is what is missing in this.

        Hence the data is not personally identifiable. And that word is exactly where the law draws its line.

        Pre Internet. It was just as easy to get numbers like this. You just needed to watch the stock in shops.
