Follow us down this deep rabbit hole of privacy policy after privacy policy
In April, attorney Christine Dudley was listening to a book on her iPhone while playing a game on her Android tablet when she started to see in-game ads that reflected the audiobooks she recently checked out of the San Francisco Public Library.
"Eventually – and I'm eliding a lot of history here – we came to the conclusion that if we wanted people to feel safe, using libraries, then we needed not to surveil what they were reading and certainly not to rat them out to authority figures. So this is actually codified in the American Library Association Code of Ethics, which was first made public in 1939."
It also found that some libraries rely exclusively on social media for their online presence."That is very troubling," said Bashir in."Facebook collects a lot of data – everything that someone might be reading and looking at. That is not a good practice for public libraries."Salo said that the amount of visitor-tracking scripts on many library websites is just beyond the pale.
She said she uses Google's Chrome browser on each device, but logged in under different account names."I don't like being logged into the Android device and it spilling over to other devices," she explained. The fact that this is just a theory is what Dudley considers to be the problem – it is far too difficult to understand how ads have been targeted and whether privacy rights have been violated or corporate commitments have been breached.But those ratings, which date back to July 12, 2022, and January 1, 2023, respectively, are no longer accurate.
We inquired further, asking Burleigh whether he disputes Common Sense Media's claim that in the Libby app,"personalized advertising is displayed" and data is"collected by third-parties for their own purposes." The app's privacy policy acknowledges that borrowing information is collected but insists that's not made public unless the user engages in"interactive content" which"may be indexed in third-party search engines like Google.
"No PII is shared. Facebook, if installed on a device, does track activity. We direct concerns about Facebook-generated ad content to the company Meta."Wong did say that the SFPL has participated in digital marketing campaigns that involve ad trackers and that these could possibly have been configured to deliver ads based on audiobook interests. But she said that didn't happen.
