Facebook Doesn’t Know What It Does With Your Data, Or Where It Goes: Leaked Document

Building audiences for our digital ads, especially to highly-specific and technical audiences, is one of the most critical talents needed for campaign success. And to make things even more difficult, privacy laws keep everything changing constantly.

Facebook (who has some of the most sophisticated parameters for targeting) admitted they cannot quite see the trees for the forest when it comes to knowing where the data they collect is used.

Facebook Doesn’t Know What It Does With Your Data, Or Where It Goes: Leaked Document “We do not have an adequate level of control and explainability over how our systems use data,” Facebook engineers say in leaked document.

Howard J. Miller, Jr., our founder, and Drew's father, died last Thursday, leaving behind a legacy of business, community and inquisitiveness. Howard and his wife, Sally, started Howard Miller Associates, now globalHMA, in 1979. Sally wrote beautiful copy, Howard created masterful strategy and Suzanne Conklin led the finances. Together they built the agency into a strong house of innovative business-to-business marketing for major Fortune 100 companies such as ARCO Chemical, Burlington Northern and other specialty companies and industry organizations such as Hilton Davis, Freedom Chemical, National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, Oxygenated Fuels Association and many more.

Howard was a man fascinated by science and agriculture and drew that love into several side businesses, including a game bird farm that supplied pheasant, quail and partridge to fine restaurants in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington — with some birds raised on one of the first free range diets developed with the help of Chef George Perrier, world-renowned chef and owner of Le Bec Fin.

Howard also had regulated shooting grounds where he hosted many of his clients; a Christmas tree farm; and two vineyards that supplied grapes to Chaddsford Winery and Naylor Winery. Drawing together his love of fine wine, gourmet food and fun, Howard and Sally hosted many wonderful parties for clients and friends alike. His clients appreciated his ability to provide truly first-class work and service. We know he would be as fascinated as we are by our current clients’ amazing science and environmental work today. He is missed.
