Service Interactions
– Our Trending Algorithm works by recording the services you click on and the frequency of those clicks.
The algorithm consists of four simple steps:
Step 1: Your UserID is retrieved, which is basically used to identify you as a user on this website. *Note that non-registered users are not part of this algorithm, so for now the trending results are limited to logged-in users.
Step 2: Now when you click on any ‘.website-item’, ‘.pin’ or ‘.share-tool’ elements, the following data is collected:
1. User-Related Data:
• Count (the number of times a specific service was clicked, stored as a positive integer)
• Shares (the number of times a specific service was shared, stored as a positive integer)
• Timestamp (the time when you most recently clicked a specific service)
• Bookmarked (yes or no depending on if you bookmarked a specific service)
2. Service-Related Data (only to identify services):
• Service ID (e.g., 219)
• Service Name (e.g., Instagram)
• Service Date Created (e.g., 2018-01-16)
• Service Date Updated (e.g., 2023-11-17)
• Service Grade Letter (e.g., E)
• Service Link (e.g., https://instagram.com)
Step 3: A .json file is created in our database with your UserID in the filename for identification. This file is both readable and writable but is only accessible to authorized administrators and the user themself. *Note that the file is only created if the user has interacted with at least one service. This file will stay with us until you either delete the file yourself or tell us to here. Deleting this file will delete all your bookmarks as well*
Step 4: All JSON files are merged into one file at the end of the week. Then, the services are sorted in descending order with services with the highest count shown on top. Lastly, data is fetched back from this file and the most popular services are displayed when you first open the Simplifier page.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, you can email us at admin@simplify-me.com. Alternatively:
– Our Trending Algorithm works by recording the services you click on and the frequency of those clicks.
– We understand that some users might not want to disclose their interactions, therefore logged-in members are able to Opt Out. *Note that your file will keep generating until you Opt Out and you cannot bookmark services if you do. Importantly, Opting Out automatically deletes your file.*
