I gave them nothing.

This past week I was dog sitting for a friend. I have not had a dog since I was 10 years old, so it was fun to play with his two dogs. If you're my Facebook friend, you know that I do not put a lot of informative information on my site. In fact, some information on my page is wrong for security reasons. Call me paranoid, but I have always been overly cautious. 

The only people that knew I was dog sitting were my family, the owner of the dogs and a few friends - who I told in face to face communication (yes, people still do that). My only electronic messaging regarding the dogs: one text to my mom and two phone calls - one to my Dad and the other with the dogs' owner. Because these puppies are cute so, I took one picture - using my phone - but have not posted it anywhere. 

Tuesday as I arrived to school I noticed this advertisement on my Facebook page. It popped up again later that day. (Remember, I haven't had a dog in over ten years.) I have never received an advertisement on any of my social media pages for anything pet related before.  

To say that I am a little "creeped-out" is an understatement. Since Tuesday, I have been wondering what other information marketeers have on me? I have spent the last few days deleting apps on my phone like crazy....

After Class today I have to wonder how much information is on me and is it too late? At this point I fear that enough info is on me that even the smallest change in a daily routine will place me in a new  marketing demographic.
