understand the concept of "data warehousing" yet. Is this basically
selling credit card details and other personal info to the highest bidder?
Yes it would, most of these topics are quite underdeveloped in
Wikipedia. I think you're confusing data warehousing with datamining -
a data warehouse is just a large database that contains every fact
that a business needs to run its operation. ETL is a pretty general
term for sticking data in datawarehouses, amongst other things.
