Custom AI Audience Leader Continues as Standard Bearer for Data Transparency and Disclosure
New York – July 16, 2020 — Dstillery, the leading custom audience solutions partner for agencies and brands, today announced that it has been certified by the IAB Tech Lab as part of its Data Transparency Standard Compliance Program. Dstillery was part of IAB Tech Lab’s Data Transparency Working Group, which developed and finalized the Data Transparency Standard and associated compliance program in June 2019. The compliance certification affirms that Dstillery discloses reliable information about their segments within the requirements defined by the standard, and can quickly and accurately provide media buyers with key information that informs data quality, including recency, provenance and segmentation criteria details.
The IAB Tech Lab’s Data Transparency Standard provides a framework for data buyers to understand the objective attributes of a data segment to make more informed buy or no-buy decisions. It also creates a common lexicon for communicating and describing different data segments, something that media buyers have been lacking.
“The third-party data space has long been messy and convoluted, making it hard for agency buyers to differentiate between fresh segments or those made from stale data,” said Evan Hills, SVP Business Development & Strategy at Dstillery. “The Data Transparency Standard finally offers an opportunity to understand these segments clearly through greater transparency, similar to what ads.txt did for fraud. We’re proud to have helped get this standard off the ground and to be one of the very first companies to meet the requirement, helping create a more transparent and trustworthy third-party data marketplace.”
Dstillery’s history of technological innovation has made the company a leader in custom built AI-audiences that help advertisers find the best customers online. By receiving this certification, buyers can purchase Dstillery audiences with confidence, knowing exactly what has gone into the audience, and how much technical care Dstillery has put into each audience’s construction.
“Transparency from data providers is becoming a prerequisite for responsible and effective application of audience data, especially given growing regulatory and consumer scrutiny of data usage,” said Dennis Buchheim, President, IAB Tech Lab. “Companies that provide consistent access to detailed information about their data will be differentiated, and being certified as compliant can further differentiate an organization, affirming their full commitment to the highest standards.”
