<p>shadow profile</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A shadow profile means that if someone who doesn&#039;t know who you are includes you in their analytics. Ie. if they don&#039;t know who you are they may assign you a large number such as &quot;user2013072988891245&quot;. Then whenever they re-identify that user they use this profile for stats. If the user one day logs in with a name they can merge the profiles and know who the shadow profile belongs to. Also if the user never reveals who they are by comparing the profiles habits perhaps it&#039;s possible to identify who is behind the shadow profile.</div>
