I was quite intrigued by this, so I spent a while rooting around and
experimenting (the documentation here is pretty scanty) until I found
it:

/var/lib/bluetooth

The files under that directory:

names a list of device names and their corresponding bluetooth device addresses (BDAs)
lastseen a list of BDAs and the corresponding timestamps of when they were last seen
lastused ditto, mutatis mutandis
trusts a list of BDAs and their trust statuses

etc.

Why on earth the data is stored there I leave to the great gurus.
