Monetizing personal data refers to the process of converting one’s personal information into a valuable asset that can be bought, sold, or traded for financial gain. This can include data such as browsing history, location, purchasing habits, and social media activity. Companies and organizations often collect and analyze this data to target specific audiences for advertising and marketing purposes. However, individuals can also monetize their own data by selling it to data brokers or participating in data-sharing programs. This practice has raised concerns about privacy and the ethical use of personal information.
