Abstract

Broadcasted mobile advertisements are increasingly being replaced by targeted mobile advertisements through consumer profiling. However privacy is a growing concern among consumers who may eventually prevent the advertising companies from profiling them. This paper proposes an agent-based targeting algorithm that is able to guarantee full consumer privacy while achieving mobile targeted advertising. We implemented a grocery discount-discovery application for iPhone that makes use of the new approach. We show that on modern hardware like on the iPhone, it’s feasible to run a client-based and privacy-preserving targeting algorithm with minimal additional computational overhead compared to a random advertising approach. We evaluated the targeting method by conducting a large-scale field-experiment with 903 participants. Results show that the computational overhead on user devices is well tolerated, compared to the control group with randomized advertising the targeting group showed a significantly increased application usage of 18%.
