Third-party data is user information bought or otherwise obtained from external sources rather than collected through the business's own direct interactions. It differs from first-party customer records merely hosted by an external software provider.[1]
Assess provenance, freshness and permitted uses before adopting an external audience dataset. A convenient format establishes neither lawfulness nor accuracy. Keep predicted attributes distinct from observed purchases so an acquired estimate does not become recorded as proven customer behaviour.
