You've got Mail. And it's got your number!

This afternoon, my mum received a phone call. When she came off it, she told me that it was from "You Magazine". In case you don't know, "you Magazine" is currently a supplement that forms part of The Mail on Sunday. Apparently, they want to launch it as a seperate magazine. That's fair enough.
But what I want to know is this. How did Associated Newspapers get this house's number? And how do they know that my mum reads the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday? It just seems very strange to me, slightly scary too. Doesn't anyone else find it disturbing that private companies can call your number and know so much about you?

Beep boop. I'm a bot.

I ticked the box on UCAS which said I did not want to be contacted by other companies but still got inundated with junk mail as soon as I get accepted.
A common technique is to fill in a lifestyle survey on the hope of winning a prize, that info is collected and sold to all and sundry.
