Data
First-Party Data
Data collected directly by your company from your own channels.
Definition
Examples include CRM records, website behavior, product usage, and direct interaction history.
Why It Matters
First-party data is often the most reliable and governance-friendly data source.
Practical Interpretation
Treat this as a data-governance and confidence problem before using it for targeting. First-Party Data should be connected to specific owners and review moments so decisions are repeatable.
