Security and Privacy
Committed to Data Ethics. Serious About Security.
Our data ethics program ensures data is collected with appropriate permissions and protected with the right controls, and that every use of that data is evaluated and ethical. We do this through Privacy by Design—our principle of ensuring that all products are designed and built without sacrificing personal privacy.
Data anonymization
LiveRamp removes personally identifiable information (PII) and replaces it with pseudonymous record keys during our matching process so you can use data with confidence. To protect your customers, we have mechanisms to control data usage and require contractual obligations to maintain the anonymity of users.
Secure data environment
LiveRamp operates within a certified Safe Haven® environment and automatically applies the data protection requirements–memory translation, data center controls, and hands-off processing–for each supported use case and workflow.
Industry-leading standards
LiveRamp’s data ethics program is one of the most robust programs in the industry. We push for ongoing oversight of our governance processes including adherence to industry and self-regulatory standards of data collection, use, and protection. We are part of the following self-regulatory organizations: the DAA, NAI, and the IAB.
Data Ethics and Privacy
Transparency and control
To meet consumers’ needs for control over their data, we offer a direct way to opt-out of our services and the DAA’s aboutads.info choice mechanisms. Additionally, we require our match partners to provide their site users with information about their data practices and an effective means to opt-out of data distribution.
Model for accountability
LiveRamp policies are supported by an in-house data ethics and compliance team that performs frequent privacy impact assessments and credential our clients, partners, and vendors. We also require every employee to undergo annual privacy, ethical data use, and security training.
