The form would obviously need things like, what are your investment goals, do you have dietary restrictions, would you like to receive future communications about other exciting opportunities…
The heat map thing is nothing new and still def around. If you click I agree and don’t bother to spend 8 years reading the fine print I guarantee you have a profile similar to this. Same as me.
The info is easy to get, people just need incentive but the better you can hide the reason for needing it (you might eat here if you win we need to know what you can’t eat) or you are interested in setting up a college fund for your X amount of kids… The easier it is to mine that info.
I wish I was making this stuff up but I was an amateur back then and the capabilities nowadays are faaar beyond that. It’s manipulation plain and simple.
How is this even possible to do. Heat maps and knowing all of this data? Wildly new to me that this was even possible let alone 15 years ago.
If you think heat mapping is wild, the finger printing they’ve been doing for just as long is going to melt your mind.
