il parle possiblement des phrases comme « Ça parle de toi ! » ou « Ça dérange »

[inner lark]

so yeah in this case "ça" is impersonal, it doesn't refer to anything. The subject of the verb is conveyed through context.
You might be familiar with "ça va" which is the same structure

[glossy berry]

It can be used sometimes in cases where you're talking about a single known person. It might sound a bit rude depending on context, but it's still technically impersonal

[green zenith]

It can indeed be used as a plural pronoun, referring to a thing that people are doing in a certain situation with a rather indefinite meaning. I don't think it can be used for a single person though

Wiktionary mentions this usage under sense 6
