Infutor isn’t a CDP but its consumer identity management solutions support a key CDP requirement. They’ve just launched a Digital Solutions Suite that links privacy-safe digital identities, such as hashed email addresses and mobile ad IDs, with offline attributes. This lets marketers use individual-level data for programmatic ad bidding, onboarding, segmentation, and personalized messaging without exposing personal identifiers.
Microsoft has quietly beaten Salesforce and Adobe to market with a Customer Data Platform under the label of Dynamics 365 Customer Insights. It seems to tick all the boxes for a proper CDP, including support for all data types, persistent storage, and open access. It also includes self-service capabilities and built in analytics. It’s available now with prices starting at $1,500 per month.
Consumers who really care about privacy can already use the Brave browser, which lets them opt in to receive ads and then direct the payment to Web sites they visit. Less altruistic users can now direct the payments to their own account through Brave’s new alliance with digital money platform Uphold. Receiving the payments does require giving up their anonymity, which isn’t otherwise required with Brave.
RudderStack, which styles itself “the AI Data Cloud Native CDP”, has unveiled a suite of Data Apps running on its Customer 360 solution, which in turn runs within Snowflake AI Data Cloud. The apps support the fast delivery of data projects — for example, attribution data and propensity scores — from data teams to business stakeholders. They are now available to Enterprise Tier RudderStack customers on Snowflake.
