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

scored profiles with voter record data held by SCL — with the goal
