Problem
The increasing emphasis on user privacy limits the effectiveness of traditional mobile advertising methods that rely on device identifiers like IDFA, making it difficult for advertisers to effectively target and acquire users on iOS and Android platforms. This shift requires new approaches to user acquisition that respect user privacy while still delivering strong campaign performance.

Dataseat offers a privacy-focused mobile demand-side platform (DSP) that enables advertisers to manage user acquisition campaigns in a privacy-centric environment. The platform leverages custom bidding algorithms and provides full support for Apple's AdAttributionKit (AAK) and SKAdNetwork (SKAN), allowing for effective campaign management without relying on IDFA. Dataseat's technology helps brands, apps, and games achieve programmatic success by utilizing privacy-compliant signals and contextual targeting to acquire high-value users. The platform provides full visibility of programmatic data, enabling advertisers to train their own machine learning models and maintain control over their data and bidding logic.
