Frequently Asked Questions

Discover how analyzing real-world movement patterns can reveal valuable trends in customer behavior, optimize business operations, and enhance strategic decision-making.

What are data linkages?

Data linkages involve connecting datasets from different sources based on a shared attribute or key, enabling a more complete view of a person, place, or behavior. In location intelligence, this could mean linking a MAID to a hashed email.

How do data linkages work?

Data linkages work by identifying common identifiers across datasets — such as mobile ad IDs — and securely joining them. Unacast ensures that these linkages maintain data privacy while expanding the value of each dataset.

Why are data linkages important?

Data linkages are important because they allow organizations to combine insights across departments or data sources, resulting in richer analytics and better decision-making. In the context of mobility data, they’re critical for understanding not just where people go, but why. In the context of identity resolution, it matches people across their devices and helps provide insight into consumer relationships.

What is the purpose of data linkage?

The goal of data linkage is to build a fuller picture of behavior, trends, or systems by unifying disparate datasets. This helps businesses and governments spot patterns and make data-informed decisions with greater confidence.

How to implement data linkages?

Implementing data linkages requires clean, structured data and a system for secure integration. Businesses often work with partners like Unacast who specialize in complying with privacy standards.
