MeetPAT Terms

Thank you for choosing MeetPAT for your Client Data Analysis needs. Your agreement with MeetPAT includes these terms, as well as any additional terms that may apply.

1. The MeetPAT Service

1.1 The purpose of the MeetPAT service is to allow users to upload their client data into the system, clean and enrich client data, and dashboard such data in order to segment client data into distinct audiences for relevant targeting.

1.2 Once data has been segmented, the system will allow anonymised audiences to be onboarded directly into the users Facebook account in order to generate an audience list from any specified segment of the list.

1.3 MeetPAT maintains complete anonymity for client data, while still allowing agencies to analyse that data, and build audiences from it, all without compromising the personally identifiable details of the contact.

1.4 The components of the MeetPAT service are as follows:

1.4.1 Cleaning & Enrichment

1.4.1.1 MeetPAT queries a legally compliant registered list provider database of consumer records in order to determine their validity. (Cleaning)

1.4.1.2 Valid records are then categorised according to a range of different criteria (including custom criteria) in order to allow data to be dashboarded for analysis. (Enrichment) Enrichment data is encrypted and not available to users or agencies for viewing or download.

1.4.2 Dashboarding

1.4.2.1 Once data has been enriched, clients will have access to a Dashboard which allows them to filter the data based on a range of criteria, including age, gender, location, etc. in order to build an audience based on those criteria.

1.4.2.2 This audience can be saved in the system for onboarding purposes. The data provider has the ability to download the audience list, but can only download fields which were originally uploaded. All enrichment data remains anonymous.

1.4.3 Onboarding

1.4.3.1 Audience lists generated from the dashboard can be onboarded into the users Facebook Audience Manager for targeting purposes.

1.4.3.2 The user will need to give access to their Facebook account in order to onboard into Facebook.
