Popis: Digital footprints can be defined any data related to any online activity. When engaging, the user leaves digital footprints that can be tracked across a range of digital activities, such as web explorer, checked-in location, YouTube, photo-tag and record purchase. Indeed, the use of all social media applications is also part of the digital footprint. This research was, therefore conducted to classify the types of digital footprint data used to predict psychographic and human behaviour. A systematic analysis of 48 studies was undertaken to examine which form of digital footprint was taken into account in ongoing research. The results show that there are different types of data from digital footprints, such as structured data, unstructured data, geographic data, time-series data, event data, network data, and linked data. In conclusion, the use of digital footprint data is a practically new way of completing research into predicting psychographic and human behaviour. The use of digital footprint data also provides a tremendous opportunity for enriching insights into human behaviour.
