Frequently asked questions

Consumers interact with businesses across a range of devices and platforms, which can lead to scattered, unconnected data. An identity graph correlates data to create a unified view of consumers based on various interactions. It enables capabilities like real-time personalization, flexible linking using unique identities and enhanced targeting.

Identity linking involves linking together multiple customer identities from different profiles, devices, interactions, etc., to create a unified view of each consumer. 

Link analysis is the ability to create a connected customer view by creating a unique identifier for each customer profile and using it to make connections across databases. This profile identity linkage provides greater assurance that a consumer or business is legitimate and allows organizations to interact with them more confidently.
