A “User Profile” is a digital or physical record that encapsulates an individual’s interactions and preferences within a system. These profiles, which began as passports in the 1920s, have evolved with the digital age to encompass a wide range of platforms, from redes sociais^[2] like Instagram^[3] to operating systems such as Windows and MacOS. User profiles offer insights into user behavior, aiding in aspects like influencer marketing^[1] and e-commerce recommendations. They also serve as crucial identifiers in forms like passports and driver’s licenses. However, with the growing concern over data privacidade^[4], especially in the wake of scandals like Cambridge Analytica, the importance of safeguarding user profile data has come to the fore.
