Many users believe their phones listen to conversations due to targeted ads appearing shortly after discussing products. However, data protection expert Simnan Ali explains that companies use various methods to predict consumer interests without recording conversations. These methods include analyzing location history, online searches, and interactions with friends. For instance, if a user visits a clothing store or if a friend searches for a product nearby, this information can influence targeted advertising. Additionally, users may unconsciously discuss products they have already considered. To limit data collection, users should review app permissions, especially regarding location access and advertising settings.
