Use Cases
The way customers share data with your business has changed. They now demand greater control and transparency over how their personal data is processed and are increasingly aligning themselves with businesses that recognize and respect their privacy.
We understand the new way your customers think about their data, as well as the practicalities of delivering that change to meet your business needs. The Pulse Permissions Protocol® is designed to balance the needs of both our clients and their customers, realising equitable value and fostering new levels of customer experience and trust.
