A couple of months ago, I speculated on this very forum that there must be companies that actively hoover up all of you app and cookie data to build an on-demand profile of you. Someone pointed me to "acxiom", which grudgingly, over the course of two months gave me a dump of what they knew about me. A lot of it was wrong, but they knew what stores I shopped at, my diet, and what cars I was considering buying. Disturbingly, they had a list of third parties who had purchased information about me, and one was an unnamed healthcare provider who had bought my location data. So, that's where we are as a society now. Sleep tight.
- Teever 3y agoCan you talk more about how you got your data from them?
