Consent management in Data 360 enables organizations to track and honor customer preferences across unified profiles. It relies on specific APIs and data models to ensure ethical data use and compliance with privacy laws.

Core information
  • Data 360 builds a unified profile of customers to help track and honor their preferences throughout omni-channel marketing practices.
More details and nuances
  • Data ethics require giving customers control of their preferences and honoring them after they are provided.
