AI-Powered Identity Resolution: Meet Hightouch’s Data Toggle

Marketers often face fragmented customer data across platforms and touchpoints. Hightouch's new AI-powered Identity Resolution solves this by combining deterministic (exact-match) and probabilistic (inferred-match) methods—with an adjustable “confidence toggle.” This allows brands to choose between maximizing accuracy or expanding reach, depending on campaign needs—all executed directly within their data warehouse.

Key Takeaways

• Customizable identity matching: Toggle between high-confidence deterministic matches and broader probabilistic matches.

• Holistic consumer understanding: Seamlessly link user behavior across DTC, social, retail, and loyalty, improving analytics and personalization.

• Use case flexibility: Use deterministic data for precision messaging (e.g., emails) and probabilistic data for broad-reach campaigns (e.g., paid media).

• Built in-house: Operates within your data warehouse—no external CDP or black-boxing needed—for improved transparency and control.
