Along with first-party data, it also contains third-party data supplied by LDX to understand and address consumer concerns and queries. Andy Monfried, Founder and CEO, Lotame, said:

“Historically, having access to data at the level available from Lotame Data Stream has been limited to brands and their advertising agencies, with little flexibility in how the data is purchased, where it’s accessible, and how it can be used.
