What kinds of personal information does Rokt process?

Derived Data: Direct Data, Indirect Data (each as defined below) and any analyses and data (including segment data) about the User that Rokt has inferred through the User’s previous interactions with the Rokt placement.

  • Direct Data: Data that is collected by Rokt directly from the Users such as when Users opt into an offer, provide information via the placement, or participate in surveys that Rokt conducts on behalf of its clients.
  • Indirect Data: Data that Rokt automatically collects from the User’s device in order to facilitate the initial and subsequent display of advertising.

Partner Data: Data that Rokt receives from a Partner when the placement loads on the Partner’s site or app, and any data that a Partner shares with Rokt separate from the operation of the Rokt placement. This can include email address, first name, last name, transaction details, and a variety of other categories of information that a Partner chooses to pass to Rokt.

Brand Data: Data that a Brand provides to Rokt (most commonly hashed email addresses), which Rokt uses so that targeting includes/excludes certain audiences (e.g., current customers) or excludes individuals who have opted out of direct marketing and to confirm whether an individual that Rokt referred to a Brand converted into a customer, which in turn is used to optimize the Brand’s campaigns.
