Why Zero-Party Data Creates a Better Future - A Tech With Heart Interview with Shaina Shiwarski

What is Zero Party Data?

Zero Party Data is information that customers intentionally and proactively share with brands. Unlike first-party data, which is collected through interactions, or third-party data, purchased from outside sources, Zero Party Data comes directly from the customer. This makes it a goldmine for personalization and direct marketing strategies.

With increasing scrutiny on data privacy and the phasing out of third-party cookies, businesses are in dire need of data that is both reliable and ethically sourced. Zero Party Data fits this bill perfectly, offering insights straight from the consumer's mouth.

Moreover, Zero Party Data opens up new avenues for building trust and loyalty. Transparency in data collection and use can foster a stronger relationship between brands and consumers. When customers feel in control of their information, they are more likely to engage with and remain loyal to a brand.
