Second-Party Data
Another organization's first-party data, shared directly under a bilateral agreement rather than through a data marketplace. A retailer's purchase data offered to a consumer brand, or an airline's traveler data offered to a hotel group. Retail Media networks are the largest second-party data businesses in advertising.
