Say what an advertising profile is
Read the guesses an advertiser has made about you, and strike out the wrong ones.
An advertising profile is a list of guesses drawn from what you have looked at: an age bracket, a handful of supposed interests.
It is guesswork, frequently wrong, and the large companies let you read yours.
Key points
- An advertising profile is a list of guesses built from what you looked at
- You can read yours, and remove what is wrong
What to remember
- You are allowed to look at this, and correct it.
- It is a guess about you, not a record.
Try this
Search your own account settings for Ad settings, and read the list of interests once.
