of data from their Facebook friends (here it notes: «upon consent
of the respondent, the GS Technology scrapes and retains the respondent's Facebook profile and a quantity
of data on that respondent's Facebook friends»); step 4 involves the psychometric data from the seed sample, plus the Facebook profile data and friend data all being run through proprietary modeling
algorithms — which the contract specifies are
based on using Facebook likes to predict personality scores, with the stated aim
of predicting the «psychological, dispositional and / or attitudinal facets
of each Facebook record»; this then generates a series
of scores per Facebook profile; step 6 is to match these psychometrically scored profiles with voter record data held by SCL — with the goal
of matching (and thus scoring) at least 2M voter records for targeting voters across the 11 states; the final step is for matched records to be returned to SCL, which would then be in a position to craft messages to voters
based on their modeled psychometric scores.
