I’m taking a class on data privacy at the moment, and it made me think it would be interesting to see exactly what kind of advertising data has been generated by services like Google \ YouTube \ Etc. Is there somewhere online that’s easy to punch in an advertising ID & find that sort of data, or is that something you’d have to request from advertisers themselves? (AdSense etc?) Or maybe do the service providers (mentioned before) store that data?
Forgive my ignorance - still learning about this stuff!
I expect there’s a price attached to this data in the US though? Which organization/business is already paying for this is the question.
Google is not about to sell this data to anyone, the data is the money maker. They sell ads that are targeted based on the data - if they sell the data, they automatically lose their edge.
They won’t sell it to competitors or to OP. They’ll happily sell it to the NSA.
