OSINT is the term you're looking for.

Edit: and this particular person was apparently talking about buying the data off signalhire.

OSINT usually consists of collecting all of the publicly available data on a "target" (person or company usually) and correlating it all together to reveal things not explicitly public (or at least not all in one spot). "Open source" intelligence. Term is used by military, intelligence agencies, and pen-testers.
