Data (n): information about a thing.

With enough data about a thing and the right algorithms, we can begin to create digital approximations of the thing.

If that thing happens to be a human being, the resulting approximation (proxy/simulation/profile) is considered highly valuable. In fact, the business model of mainstream technology (people farming) is to own these profiles to both exploit them internally and to rent out selective access to third parties.
