Private Data Feeds private-data-feeds
A private data feed is an option that lets providers limit buyer access to their data. Data providers and buyers should review this information before creating and subscribing to private data feeds.
Private Data Feeds for Providers private-data-feeds-providers
As a provider, your data feeds can be public or private. A private data feed lets you limit buyer access to your data, including the name of the data seller. You may want to create a private data feed to offer special deals, discounts, or when privacy and access control are important. With a private data feed, you get to review and approve buyer requests. After you approve a request, the feed looks just like a public data feed to the buyer. You can view and manage all your feeds in Audience Marketplace > My Shared Data. As shown below, this type of feed is marked “Private” in the status column.
Managing Feed Requests
Clicking the name of a private data feed from My Shared Data takes you to a page that contains several tabs. Click a tab to manage your private data feed requests.
The following table defines the role or functions provided by each action tab.
Lists approved buyers who have not subscribed to a private data feed.
An approval lets buyers view a data feed as if it were public. This gives them a chance to review and evaluate your feeds before subscribing. You can also offer discounts on data feeds to buyers listed as potential subscribers. Once the buyer subscribes, their profile moves to Current Subscribers.
Lists new subscription requests for a private data feed. Click this tab to review, approve, or reject buyer requests.
- Approved buyers move to Potential Subscribers.
- Rejected buyers move to Denied Access.
Lists approved buyers who have not yet subscribed to a data feed and have requested more information about your feeds.
An approval lets buyers view a data feed as if it were public. This gives them a chance to review and evaluate your feeds before subscribing. You can also offer discounts on data feeds to buyers requesting access. Responding to a details request removes the buyer profile from this tab. If they haven't subscribed, the buyer profile is still in Potential Subscribers.
Lists rejected subscription requests for a private data feed.
To re-approve denied buyers, change the Rejection Status to Allow. This moves the buyer to Potential Subscribers.
Next Steps
The following documentation can help you get started with private data feeds.
Private Data Feeds for Buyers private-data-feeds-for-buyers
As a buyer, private data feeds appear in the Marketplace like any other offer. However, in this case, the feed list does not show summary information for traits, unique users, and user overlap. Also, the data seller has an option to show or hide their name in the Provider column of the Marketplace list. After the seller approves your subscription request, all the data in a private feed becomes available to you (it works just like a public feed). The Marketplace example below lists the 3 different feed types available to you as a buyer.
Feed types include:
The table describes how these different feed types show or hide data.
