It's kind of odd that they could just take random information from the internet without asking and are now treating it like a trade secret.

There was personal information included in the data. Did no one actually read the article?

Tbf it's behind a soft paywall

Well firstly the article is paywalled but secondly the example that they gave in this short bit you can read looks like contact information that you put at the end of an email.

That would still be personal information.
