Finally, we have a promise from video ad platform LoopMe that your ads will never appear near hateful content. Users get a range of rules to block content topics, sites or apps and to use third-party brand safety services.

We also don’t know what happens if they fail to meet their “promise” to keep your ad from appearing in the wrong place.
Singapore-based Insider assembles customer data from all sources, creates AI-based audience segments and personalized messages, and pushes the results to Web sites, apps, email, messaging, and ad channels. We don’t know if they’re a CDP because they might not make their data available to other systems. We do know they just raised a $32 million Series C which they’ll use to enter the U.S. market.
