I can't figure out why Zillow thinks I'd be interested in houses in Palo Alto. They regular send me emails about houses they think I might be interested in, and they are in the Palo Alto area.

The only reason they have my email address was because I made an account so I could claim my house on Zillow, so they know exactly where I live, and that is 850 miles from Palo Alto.

They can target based upon income level and job. You being you means that if you went to the Palo Alto region you would find very similar people.
Do you use or at any time have used a Cali VPN?
