Data Enrichment

Augmenting a record you already have (like an email) with additional attributes purchased or inferred from other sources.

Full definition

Data enrichment (or "data append") adds fields to a record, such as a phone number, address, age, estimated income, household attributes, or interests, using information purchased, licensed, or inferred from other sources. Brokers and marketing platforms may offer enrichment as an API or batch service. The added fields may be probabilistic or outdated and can increase the detail of a profile, which is one reason data minimization matters.
