Just curious, is this illegal? What happens if the seller didn't disclose the method in which he aggregated the data or says I just stood in a shopping mall and asked people to voluntarily disclose these details? (Sure he'll have a hard time proving that) ....

Chances are it's in the app's privacy policy that they can share your data with "carefully selected third parties" or something similar.

Not allowed by Facebook developer TOS (which they never enforce).
