It's not freely available, it's for sale. And just because private data is for sale does make it public.

It's private property that happens to be data. The fact it's allowed to be collected and sold to anyone much less the government.

Which means that private consent in contract for data collection here is meaningless.

Similar to how one cannot sign away one’s constitutional rights in a contract.
