Digital Footprint Analysis 👣
Digital footprint analysis is one of Luvb.ai’s most powerful features.
Enabling Luvbs to understand you better and identify highly compatible matches by analyzing public data from your online presence and that of potential matches.
What Is Digital Footprint Analysis?
Your digital footprint is the trail of publicly accessible information you leave online, such as:
Social media posts, comments, likes, and shares.
Participation in forums or community discussions.
Publicly visible profiles (e.g., LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter).
Luvbs use advanced AI techniques to analyze this information, learning about your personality, preferences, and communication style. Similarly, they analyze potential matches’ footprints to find compatibility based on shared interests and behaviors.
How It Works
1. For You (The User)
During onboarding, you can choose to enhance your profile by linking public social accounts (e.g., Instagram, Twitter, TikTok). This is optional but adds depth to your profile by giving Luvbs access to:
Your Interests:
The topics you engage with frequently.
Hashtags you use or follow.
Your Personality:
Sentiment and tone of your posts.
How you interact with others (e.g., humorous, professional, empathetic).
Your Community:
Groups or communities you’re part of (e.g., hobbies, professional circles).
This data is combined with your manual profile inputs to create a 360-degree personality map for more accurate matchmaking.
2. For Potential Matches
Luvbs scour the internet to identify potential matches, using digital footprint analysis to determine compatibility. This includes:
Interests:
Are they engaging with similar topics, hobbies, or communities as you?
Do their posts or activities align with what you’re looking for?
Values:
NLP is used to analyze their tone and sentiments to understand their values and priorities.
Example: Someone posting about environmental activism might share values with a user passionate about sustainability.
Behavioral Patterns:
How often do they engage online, and what does their engagement reveal about their personality? (e.g., outgoing, reserved, or humorous.)
Platform-Specific Analysis:
Instagram: Luvbs analyze captions, tagged activities, and visual content.
Twitter: Luvbs scan tweets for topics, tone, and hashtags.
LinkedIn: Luvbs use professional interests and achievements for compatibility insights.
Key Steps in Digital Footprint Analysis
Crawling Public Data:
Luvbs crawl social media platforms, forums, and other public spaces where users leave digital traces.
They only access publicly visible information (privacy-focused).
Natural Language Processing (NLP):
Posts, captions, and comments are analyzed for tone, sentiment, and keywords.
Example: A match’s tweets about their love for travel align with your travel-focused profile.
Image Recognition (Optional Feature):
For platforms like Instagram, Luvbs use image recognition to analyze posts for shared hobbies or activities.
Example: A match’s hiking pictures align with your interest in outdoor adventures.
Scoring and Prioritization:
Matches are scored based on:
Shared interests and values.
Overlapping communities.
Complementary personality traits.
Top-scoring matches are prioritized for outreach.
Privacy and Security
1. User Consent
Luvbs only analyze your digital footprint with your explicit consent.
Social media linking is entirely optional and enhances matchmaking accuracy but is not mandatory.
2. Transparency
You can view the data Luvbs have analyzed about you and adjust what’s shared:
See which hashtags, topics, or communities have been flagged as important.
Remove specific pieces of data from your profile if you prefer.
3. Anonymized Data
While analyzing potential matches, all data is anonymized until a match responds or joins the app. This ensures no private information is exposed.
Benefits of Digital Footprint Analysis
Enhanced Accuracy:
Matches are based on real-world behavior, not just what someone says in their profile.
This leads to more authentic connections.
Deeper Understanding:
Luvbs learn your personality and communication style more comprehensively.
Example: A user who frequently posts witty comments might be matched with someone who appreciates humor.
Broader Search:
Digital footprint analysis enables Luvbs to explore communities and platforms beyond the app, greatly expanding the pool of potential matches.
Reduced Effort:
You don’t have to search manually—Luvbs analyze thousands of profiles and shortlist the most compatible ones for you.
Real-Life Example
Imagine you’re an adventure-loving foodie:
You fill out your profile mentioning your love for hiking and exploring cuisines.
You link your Instagram account, where you frequently post photos of your outdoor trips and food adventures.
Luvbs crawl Instagram and find someone:
Who posts photos of hikes in similar locations.
Shares food reviews from restaurants you’ve liked.
Comments on travel blogs with a tone that resonates with your personality.
This individual scores highly on compatibility metrics and receives a pollination message from your Luvbs.
