A Subscriber’s privacy relates to how much data we collect on them, and the kind of experience Subscribers have across Broadcast channels.
An ideal Subscriber experience involves our AI tailoring specific Content to Subscribers based on the preferences they set, their interests, and their habits. Our AI will also take the data collected on your Subscriber's interests and report them as Insights in your Instance.
Below you will see the four privacy options, how to view Subscriber privacy settings, and how to change a Subscriber's privacy settings.
Subscriber Privacy Options
Subscribers have four privacy options to be set to or to select from:
Personalize my experience
This setting is the default and the recommended setting. Subscribers will have the ideal Cerkl experience by building an interest profile based on their content engagement, allowing them to receive personalized Content and messaging.
Personalize my experience but do not learn about me
The Subscriber's activity will still be counted as metrics inside of insights, and content engagement is recorded to ensure new Stories are presented when available. Engagement behavior will not result in building a category interest profile.
Personalize my experience but do not report on my activity
The Subscriber's experience will be personalized (including changes in category interest profiles), however none of their activity will be counted towards the metrics reported inside Insights.
Do not personalize my experience
Profile interest data and insights will not be recorded, and personalized messaging will not be available. This setting is not recommended as selecting this option might result in the Subscriber possibly receiving the same Content over and over again.
