What it measures

Five items assess the extent to which a consumer accepts having a social media platform use demographic information they have explicitly entered into their profile — such as age, gender, and relationship status — to serve them targeted advertisements. The scale was created by Kim, Barasz, and John (2019) as one of four measures designed to distinguish between qualitatively different bases for behavioural ad targeting.
