By analyzing, for example, the searches made by web users, the prompts formulated, the pages viewed, the &#8220;likes&#8221; expressed in social media, the biographical data entered, as well as other information provided even unknowingly (for example, the locations visited using a browsing APP) global platforms build a very detailed profile of each user, often violating privacy.
