Where does the audience data come from?+
Thirteen provider feeds contribute identity, offline reference, and behavioral intent signals. Identity datasets establish the profile, offline reference sources such as property, voter, credit attribute, and professional-license files confirm it, and online behavioral, bid stream, co-registration, and vertical intent feeds show what that person is engaging with right now.
How often is the data updated?+
Monthly NCOA hygiene runs every 30 days, with ongoing source refreshes as providers update their files. Intent feeds refresh continuously as provider signals are received and categorized, so the audience reflects current behavior rather than a snapshot from the day it was built.
What does intent actually mean?+
Intent means observed behavioral signals such as search, comparison, registration, and category engagement signals supplied by data providers. It is a strong indicator of active shopping behavior. It is not a guarantee that a person will buy.
How are opt-outs and suppression handled?+
Public opt-outs and admin suppression imports are hashed before storage, so suppression can be honored without retaining readable personal data. Audience creation and exports are limited to United States records, and phone-bearing CSV exports carry a DNC obligation notice unless a configured DNC provider performs scrubbing.
