Have you ever talked about a new pair of sneakers, only to see ads for them on your phone later? It can feel like your phone is listening. While that’s not usually true, the reality is almost as surprising. Companies aren't recording your voice; they are just experts at tracking your online activities to predict your interests.

This is called targeted advertising, and it starts with data. Companies gather information from many sources.
