A privacy-first marketing attribution platform built around data ownership
AttriByte does not ask you to trade privacy for accuracy. Your data stays in your warehouse, identity is built on first-party signals, and every attribution model is transparent and auditable.
What privacy-first means
Privacy as architecture, not compliance theater
Many vendors market "privacy-first" while still copying your customer data into their own cloud, relying on third-party cookies with consent banners as cover, and offering data deletion only through a support ticket. That is compliance theater: privacy language on top of a surveillance architecture.
AttriByte's privacy-first design starts at the data architecture level. The bring-your-own data warehouse (BYODW) model means your raw event data, identity records, and attribution results never leave your environment. The attribution computation runs as SQL inside your warehouse. AttriByte only receives the aggregated query results needed to render your dashboard.
Cookieless persistent identity removes the third-party tracking dependency entirely. B2B buyer journeys are stitched using first-party signals (form fills, login events, hashed email, CRM IDs), and the resolved journey is stored in your warehouse, not AttriByte's.
Minimal data collection means AttriByte's pixel collects only the signals required to run attribution: page URL, referrer, UTM parameters, and identity signals. It does not collect page content, keystroke data, or full behavioural telemetry. The schema is documented and visible.
Six pillars
What makes AttriByte privacy-first
Each pillar addresses a different dimension of privacy: data location, identity method, collection scope, legal alignment, residency, and model transparency.
Bring your own data warehouse
Every byte of your customer data lives in your Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or Postgres instance. AttriByte runs attribution SQL inside your warehouse and writes results back to your tables. Nothing is copied to AttriByte's servers for processing.
Cookieless persistent identity
Identity is built on first-party deterministic signals: hashed email, CRM IDs, and login events. No third-party cookies, no cross-site tracking, no browser fingerprinting. The stitched buyer journey lives in your warehouse.
Minimal data collection
AttriByte collects the touchpoint and identity signals needed to run attribution. It does not collect page content, form field values, or behavioural data beyond the signals required. Event schemas are documented and auditable.
GDPR-aligned by architecture
Data minimisation and purpose limitation are built into the data model. You control the lawful basis configuration. Because data stays in your warehouse and your region, you determine residency and the processor relationship.
Data residency you control
Your warehouse's region is your data's region. Attribyte does not impose a hosting geography. EU companies keep data in EU warehouses. Regulated industries can provision warehouses in the regions their compliance frameworks require.
Six transparent attribution models
First-touch, last-touch, linear, time-decay, U-shaped, and W-shaped all run in parallel. The SQL behind every model is logged. You can inspect, extend, or audit any model output directly in your warehouse tables.
GDPR and data governance
Built for the DPO review, not around it
AttriByte is built to pass Data Protection Officer reviews without custom documentation or workarounds. The architecture answers the standard questions: where does personal data go, who processes it, under what lawful basis, in which region, and for how long.
Because all personal data stays in your warehouse, the answers are straightforward. Your data stays in your region. You are the data controller and warehouse operator. AttriByte is a data processor under a formal Data Processing Addendum. Retention is controlled by your warehouse table configuration.
Compliance checklist
- Personal data stays in your warehouse and your region
- No third-party cookie-based tracking
- Data minimisation: only signals required for attribution are collected
- Consent management integrations via OneTrust, Cookiebot, or custom consent APIs
- Data subject access requests: all PII is in your warehouse, queryable
- Data retention: configure purge schedules on your warehouse tables
- Full event schema documentation for DPO review
- Data Processing Addendum available for GDPR Article 28 compliance
The difference
Privacy-first attribution vs conventional tools
Conventional attribution tools were not designed with privacy as a constraint. AttriByte was built after GDPR, after ITP, and after the third-party cookie deprecation.
Data location
Conventional tools
Copied to vendor's cloud; you lose control the moment data is transmitted
AttriByte
Stays in your warehouse; vendor never has a copy of your raw data
Identity method
Conventional tools
Third-party cookies (blocked by Safari, Firefox, and Chrome), cross-site fingerprinting
AttriByte
First-party deterministic signals: hashed email, CRM IDs, login events
Data residency
Conventional tools
Vendor's server region; often US-only or limited options
AttriByte
Your warehouse region: EU, US, APAC, or wherever you've provisioned
GDPR Article 28
Conventional tools
Vendor is a data processor receiving personal data; DPA covers what leaves your environment
AttriByte
Vendor processes only aggregated results; personal data never transmitted to vendor
Model transparency
Conventional tools
Black-box attribution; results via API or dashboard only
AttriByte
Full SQL model in your warehouse; audit any result directly in your tables
