Personalization unifies Customer content and profile data from multiple sources to deliver in-context, personalized experiences natively on any website and across any channel or device using the API.
Acquia will provide the Personalization Subscription Service described below only if purchased by Customer, as indicated in the Order.
A subscription to Personalization includes the following elements that will enable the Customer to assist with its content personalization and content distribution goals:
Personalization unifies person profile data collected from Customer’s Drupal or non-Drupal websites and, if the Customer purchases Acquia Personalization - Premium or Personalization Starter - Premium, other sources, such as CRM and email. It tracks the behavior of anonymous and identified customers throughout their customer journey; from first point of interaction as an anonymous person through to becoming a repeat, loyal customer. Personalization creates a unified profile for each person based on their historical and real-time behavior, described as follows:
The data collected by Personalization is non-personal information typically about user’s online activity and interests, similar to web analytics (for example, a user read a specific article, opened an email newsletter, or prefers content related to movies). The IP address of the person is stored in order to determine their geography, but optionally can be masked by the customer before it is stored. Additional information can be collected about a person solely at the discretion of Customer.
In order to unify profile data from other sources such as marketing automation, identifiers such as email addresses or user ids can also optionally be stored. It is solely at Customer’s discretion to determine which identifiers they wish to store in Personalization, if any. Identifiers can also optionally employ a one-way encryption hash.
Personalization visitor data is stored in the cloud in order to support the real-time profiling, segmentation, and analytics functions described previously. Depending on the Subscription purchased, this data can be viewed using the Personalization user interface and optionally accessed using API and data warehouse connection. All Personalization data is owned by the Customer.
Personalization unifies content and profile data from multiple sources to deliver in-context, personalized experiences on Drupal or non-Drupal websites. It provides a user interface that overlays on top of any website to allow a user to build rules that define which content to test or target to different segments of users. The content that is available to a user for building personalizations is based on all content published to Content Hub from one or more content sources. See below for more information related to Content Hub.
Content Hub is a cloud-based content distribution and discovery service that enables customers to author, search, and share content throughout a complex network of websites and channels. Content Hub connects content bi-directionally, enabling global enterprises to discover, reuse, and distribute content throughout their entire organization in a secure cloud environment.
