I know there are different apps or websites that give you “points” for just scanning your receipts from other stores, and you can redeem points for different rewards like gift cards. What is the website gaining from this? It always seems too good to be true because I don’t know how they’re making a profit.
In: Technology
They Gain lots of knowledge about your habits.
What you shop, where you shop, when you shop.
With that info they can build a profile about you.
They can deduce if you have a family, likely ages of kids etc etc.
They can then sell that data so that “appropriate” ads can be directed your way.
