I don't get where you're coming from. Is it the combining with the world's datasets piece? They're probably using either publicly available datasets or have specific agreements with companies to make use of their datasets.

HIPAA concerns patient identity mainly, so if the dataset is anonymized or fictionalized then it's likely fine. Or if it can't be anonymized then they'll just add some extra paperwork before sharing.

Don't think that HIPAA means your data isn't shared with other companies. It just means the companies will sign some paperwork first.

Edit: also the rubber was on the road 9 years ago apparently because they've been doing this since 2013
