First-Party Data

First-party data is data that comes directly from your company CRM or loyalty data with a consented path from the consumer or a publisher that has first-party consent from a consumer. You or the publisher collect the consent during a signup process from your customers, app users, website visitors or purchases, loyalty customers, email list subscribers, or consumers who are interacting directly with your company in some way. To maximize the effect on first-party data it often collided with second-party and third-party data, which comes from several sources depending on the needs of the client. Because first-party data has a known consent path it is considered high-quality data.
