Legitimate Interest

Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).

Illustrations

  • A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
  • A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.

Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.

Illustrations

  • If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
  • An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.

Illustrations

  • An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
  • A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.

Illustrations

  • You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
  • You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.

Legitimate Interest

Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.

Illustrations

  • You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
  • You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.

Illustrations

  • You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
  • You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.

Legitimate Interest

Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).

Illustrations

  • The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
  • An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.

Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.

Illustrations

  • A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
  • An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.

Illustrations

  • A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
  • A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.

Will it stop??

Hi all, feel a fraud posting in here as I haven’t been diagnosed with HG, however I have been nauseous every single day of my pregnancy and vomit 1-2 times per day. I have managed to keep food/liquids down and never needed a hospital admission. Tried every single antisickness tip and medication that a doctor will let me have, all to no avail!

Anyway I am 38 weeks now, having a c section next week due to other medical reasons. Just wondering if you guys found that the nausea went away as soon as you had baby?? Or did it take time? Don’t want to get too excited if I’ll still have it for a while 🤣

Severe and consistent nausea comes under the HG umbrella. Nausea does go away for most people right after they deliver the placenta

I too thought I would feel like this for life. Couldn’t remember life before HG as 9 months is a long time. But you will be better

@Laura thank you for this 🩷 there is light at the end of the tunnel!!

I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time. Well done for getting through it, you're nearly there! I understand that the diagnostic/treatment guidelines for HG have changed so that diagnosis is based more on how the patient feels and functions as opposed to ketone measures etc. The fact that you have struggled with nausea throughout (despite not being admitted to hospital) suggests HG to me.

Like you, I was nauseas throughout and I'm glad to say it went away as soon as my daughter was born. The baked potato i ate on the postnatal ward felt like the best meal of my life! I hope that's the case for you too. All the best for your c-section x

@Charlotte - can't see 👋 thanks so much I wasn’t expecting to have my symptoms validated so much. It has been hard and I had to stop work at 22 weeks due to it and have only gained 6lb during the whole pregnancy (despite having a massive 9lb at 38 weeks baby according to growth scans 🤣). I think most doctors still see HG as ketones/needing IV fluids but I’ve never got that bad and know people definitely suffer worse than I have! So glad to hear yours stopped so quickly too, cannot wait to eat when/what I want again! And of course meet my chunky baby 🤣

Avatar

I got furious at midwives/consultants who said “no ketones or only 2+ ketones so you’re fine”. It got to the point (despite shoving the guidelines in their faces) that I was 37 weeks pregnant and hadn’t drank in 5 days. I could barely speak or stand and they still refused fluid and anti sickness injections. So I rang PALS up and said I’m going to kill myself and the hospital have been negligent. In hindsight it was a bit dramatic but it got me what I needed - fluids, injections, and an earlier induction date. No one understands just how much HG ruins your life. I literally cannot explain it to anyone who hasn’t been through it, there are no words that cover it. I know of cancer survivors who have said HG was worse than their cancer treatment. The nausea is absolutely the worst symptom of HG so don’t put yourself down. I challenge anyone to have the constant feeling of being 5 seconds away from vomiting, 24/7, for 9 months. We are all strong women and you will come out of this.. cont

With a sense of achievement that can’t be described. All the best for your birth 💜

@Laura well done for advocating for yourself and your baby! You’re so right no understands, and makes out like it’s “just morning sickness” and we should put up with it, but there are days where you feel like you are dying! Thank you for your comments 🩷

Avatar

HG is caused by a hormone called GDF15 that is found in the placenta. So as soon as that comes out you should find immediate relief!

I think Labour has started need some urgent advice as I can’t reach anyone not even my midwife lol

TMI but just went to do a poop. Been feeling like I need one but I’ve not been constipated. As I did one I felt the sharpest pain in my v. Since I’ve stood up I can’t keep my legs closed and I feel like I need to lean over on something and now I feel like I need another poop. Could this be Labour starting? Scared to do another one as I still feel pain in my v. I have put my finger at the surface but nothing but I’m too scared to go deeper to check properly. Earlier this week I was at the hospital and they said baby’s head was engaged but I can’t get ahold of anyone and my husband has the car and isn’t picking up

Taking Toddler to meet baby in hospital?

Want people’s opinion / experiences please on taking toddler to meet baby in hospital. Little boy has literally just turned 2, he’s bright and intuitive but not sure if hospital would be a lot for him. I had thought bringing baby home to meet him here (in laws will be looking after him) but my mum thinks it would help him understand context better if he came to hospital. I am likely having planned section so will be in one night minimum
