Google sells advertisers a promise to show their ads for razors to males 18-30 years old who have ever searched for 'razors' or 'shaving' or 'beard' or 'shaving cream'.
Maybe they also look through your Google photos to find faces with beards... or check your email for references to beards or amazon orders with razors... and to show extra ads to people who live in the Portland area
Some people are more okay with the facts (top paragraph) and the possibly exaggerated version (previous paragraph) and others.
- euyyn 9y agoI don't think anybody would be surprised to know that Google ads are personalized based on the data it knows about you. The misleading part is saying that that personalization is done by selling your data to advertisers.
