Our Goal

At LoudDoor we are passionate about being part of communities that we love and find meaningful to our everyday lives. That is the passion that we tapped to create the communities that we participate in with you and power the surveys underlying our technology. Just like the best web sites create customized user experiences, our goal is to tailor advertising to make the social communities on Facebook a more interesting, relevant and entertaining place to hang out. Advertising funds the social web that we enjoy, and our goal is to help make it more enjoyable for everyone by providing the context to deliver ads that are more relevant to our day-to-day lives and advertisers reach consumers who are more likely to be interested in their products.

What We Do

In order to help deliver relevant ads, we have developed technology that tries to predict what consumers might be interested in based on the surveys that Facebook users have taken and the likes and interests that they have provided in their Facebook profile. Specifically, our technology finds correlations between survey responses and the likes and interests that allow brands to target advertisements to groups of people on Facebook. How does this work?

An example is that when several people respond to a survey stating that they enjoy the product of one of our clients who all are Facebook fans of a specific television show and book, our technology might assume that these people share similar interests and tastes. Since all of these people enjoy our client's product (for example), our technology might deliver an ad to the other people who also like that television show and book.

What We Don't Do

Our targeting technologies do not rely on any personal information, such as your name, email address, phone number, etc. unless you have provided one of our partners with your explicit permission to use it. We take consumer privacy very seriously (after all, we are consumers too, and it matters to us), and never share any information which could be used to identify a specific person. See our privacy policy for more details.

If you are a member of one of our Facebook communities please be assured that we are one of you and none of your personal information is available to us unless you choose to respond to one of the surveys that you will see on the Facebook page from time-to-time. We hope you will participate and help make all of our participation in our Facebook communities a more engaging and personalized experience.
