By integrating Experian’s identity graph within Snowflake’s secure platform businesses of all sizes can receive advanced data collaboration and identity tools without the high costs usually involved.

Backed by Experian’s Global Data Principles, Experian’s deep roots in data protection and security provide customers with the most trusted way to share data and protect consumer privacy. With Experian’s graph in Snowflake Data Clean Rooms, customers will get a solution that respects customer consent, safeguards sensitive data, and ensures that processing occurs with the utmost respect for user confidentiality and preferences.
Further, Snowflake Data Clean Rooms uses advanced methods to preserve privacy, such as differential privacy and secure computations on encrypted data, enabling data security and integrity. Together, these methods prevent unauthorized access by keeping sensitive data within the secure confines of the cleanroom on a strict, collaboration-to-collaboration basis.
The collaboration between Experian and Snowflake significantly enhances data matching and identity resolution within the Snowflake Data Cleanroom. Experian’s identity solution uses digital identifiers like hashed emails, MAIDs, and CTV IDs and offline identifiers like name and address. This allows advertisers to reach more consumers and enrich their data. Marketers can easily use their first-party data in the cleanroom, and with Experian’s Graph, they get higher match rates for more accurate targeting and campaign measurement.
The continued partnership between Snowflake and Experian provide advertisers, platforms, and measurement providers a secure and effective way to collaborate. This sets the stage for continued innovation in programmatic advertising, ensuring that our solutions evolve in step with our clients’ needs.

Globalization affects retailers in a number of ways. Complying with commercial laws wherever they have brick-and-mortar stores is one such impact. Navigating through privacy rules that impact e-commerce efforts is another. There is one blind spot in particular that deserves attention — sending shopping cart abandonment emails. I am often asked, “How are abandonment emails treated under the CAN-SPAM Act? Canada’s stringent Anti-Spam Law (CASL)?” “Can I even send abandonment emails to my Canadian customers?” What are cart abandonment emails? But let’s back up… What is an ‘abandonment’ email anyway? In the email space shopping cart abandonment refers to a particular type of automated mailing used to re-engage an online customer. The most common example is one where a retailer notices that a customer has left an item sitting in their shopping cart, and proceeds to send a reminder with a coupon to complete the order. To fully understand privacy compliance pitfalls with this technique, in the U.S. and beyond, we need to unpack what happens before the abandonment email is sent. Email marketing shopping cart abandonment compliance Abandonment messages are almost always ‘commercial’, particularly if they incentivize a shopper to complete their purchase. In compliance parlance, we call this encouraging the continuation of a commercial activity. In contrast, an order confirmation typically provides factual information about a commercial activity. Under most anti-spam laws, particularly under CASL, marketers need to ensure abandonment messages are not unsolicited. Triggering should account for: Appropriate consent covering email marketing to new or ongoing online relationships. Scrubbing the customer’s email address against your unsubscribe/suppression lists before sending a solicitous message. (This is true under any anti-spam law.) For more information about CASL-compliant consent record keeping and related best practices, you can navigate to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. Maintaining compliance with online tracking Abandonment emails rely on online retailers tracking their customers’ activity on their websites and tying online behavior back to the email addresses using the same behavioral targeting technologies as those used to deliver Interest Based Ads. This jump across engagement channels to remarket to customers can raise privacy concerns, so online retailers need to pay attention to their privacy compliance obligations. Cross-channel marketing privacy protections Guidance covering privacy policies and practices issued by the Federal Trade Commission are informative and I encourage you to review these with your law department. If you operate outside the U.S., privacy protection laws like Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) may set out additional obligations with your cross-channel marketing efforts. PIPEDA’s definition of commercial activity, which includes remarketing Privacy Commissioner’s findings under PIPEDA in relation to remarketing Privacy Commissioner’s guidance on online behavioral advertising, the technology of which informs triggered emails Under PIPEDA and similar international privacy regimes, cross-channel marketers will need to (i) clearly and conspicuous inform website visitors that their online activities may result in personalized marketing, (ii) offer a way to opt-out of such tracking, and (iii) obtain individuals’ prior express consent with tracking involving sensitive personal information such as health data How to manage cross-channel marketing compliance risks As privacy protection regimes around the world continue to mature and absorb rules covering marketing, online retailers need to start adding new vocabulary to their privacy compliance lexicon. For example, shopping cart abandonment efforts produce ‘cross-channel re-marketing campaigns triggered by an identifiable individual’s online behavior.’ While this is a mouthful to say, viewing your engagement efforts through this lens will help you manage compliance risks.
