My Privacy Run In With Big Brother Tonight: A Small Incident That Has Me Awake & Posting At 3am.

I had a similar experience with my phone. Not with gps but with a phone conversation with my doctor and an ad targeting me.

I had a phone conversation with my doctor to make an appointment for radiocardiogram the next day. It was a brief conversation around 2 minutes.

On the hour long bus ride over to the radiocadiologist's office I was listening to Pandora radio. I had 3 ads for radiocardiologists. I was creeped out. I've never heard an ad for radiocardiograms on Pandora ever and didn't know what ome was until I asked my doctor what it was on the phone.

There is only two explainations. Total coincidence or that I was being targted with this ad by Pandora. If it were the latter it would would be two explainations.

  1. The doctor's office sells my health records to ad agencies.
  2. My conversation was being recorded as a text file and being sold to ad agencies.

It probably isn't the second one but I wouldn't be suprised if it is possible.
