FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Introducing Sirdata the Premiere Third-Party Data Collecting Self-Service
Platform
PARIS, FRANCE, June 2013 – Data technology startup Sirdata launches a fully
automated, third party data collection and profiling technology platform that
provides innovative solutions for Web publishers and advertisers.
Sirdata enables publishers and advertisers to increase their income by taking
advantage of Web users’ digital imprints including behaviors, interests and habits.
Sirdata’s third-party data collecting self-service platform lets Web publishers
easily monetize their traffic, and Web advertisers provide targeted and relevant
advertisements to Web users. The current technology platform, which launched in
December 2012 after three years of extensive research and development, processes
data in seven countries.
Benoit, the founder and CEO of Sirdata, says, “Our technology uses advanced
algorithms, allowing us to create detailed profiles for our advertising partners that
identify Web users’ intentions, behaviors and main interests. The behavioral data
we provide ensures advertisers can precisely target new customers with an
engaging, relevant ad.”
The business need for a service like this is clear considering the rapid growth of
publishers with mid-range monthly unique visitors on the Web. Large Websites
are already being addressed; however there is a huge opportunity to capitalize on
mid-range publishers that attract 10,000 through 100,000 monthly unique visitors.
With almost one year in existence, Sirdata has seen exponential growth. Currently
Sirdata collects data from close to 4 million unique visitors per day, while 20,000
publishers use our tags. Our segment base contains 350 categories excluding
private segments. With these sorts of statistics, Sirdata has become one of the
leading fully automated, third party data aggregators.

Advertiser’s Brochure
As the amount of publishers on the Web grow third-party data collection and
methods such as data profiling and search retargeting become more important to
create a successful advertising and marketing strategy. The use of Web user
profile data is an essential element for advertisers to better reach their audience,
and successfully advertise to new customers. Behaviorally targeted ads can
provide greater relevance, and a more engaging experience for web users.
How Does Third-Party Data Benefit Advertiser’s Business?
Sirdata collects third-party behavioral data that allows advertisers to identify the
intentions and main interests of Web users. Once the data is collected and
processed, detailed profiles are created. By selecting specific user segments such
as fashion, travel, cooking or insurance, advertisers can deliver their message to
the right audience. This rich source of targeted data benefits advertisers in creating
more meaningful and relevant advertising campaign strategies, and ensures they
are making the most out of every Web user’s click.
Are Sirdata User Segments Available on Real-Time Bidding Platforms
(RTB)?
RTB technology is an innovative trend at the forefront of the online advertising
world, connecting a broad range of advertisers and publishers together and
Sirdata’s data segments are available on the leading RTB platforms such as
Appnexus. Sirdata helps advertisers optimize their campaigns by targeting their
audience with specific segments and placement information that web users are
interested in.

segments to our advertisers. Our strict profiling techniques allow us to collect an
abundance of relevant information, and create extensive profiles. The behavioral
data we provide ensures advertisers can precisely target their customer’s with a
relevant ad. To ensure we continue to provide only the most premium data, Sirdata

Publisher’s Brochure
Third-party data collection is an exciting new revenue source for publishers.
Sirdata provides publishers the opportunity to monetize their traffic through a
revenue strategy that is simple and streamlined. By simply copying and pasting a
JavaScript code at the bottom of their Web pages, publishers and merchants can
monetize their users through fully automated, third party data collection.
How Does Sirdata’s Platform Benefit Publishers?
The majority of publishers currently earn money through advertising. With
Sirdata’s new technology publishers can also earn money by selling the behavioral
data from Web user’s visits and specific actions on their Websites. Sirdata
provides a self-service platform; publishers of all sizes regardless of their unique
monthly visitors can subscribe and sell their data. With one simple step of placing
a tag on their Website, publishers can start earning money almost immediately.
Sirdata’s program is not exclusive, publishers have the choice to earn money
through Sirdata, as well as sell that same data to other companies for additional
revenue.
How Does Sirdata Capture its Data?
Sirdata collects anonymous data from publisher’s Websites. Using advanced
algorithm technology, the data is then profiled and sold to advertisers to create
targeted advertisements. By placing tags in the global footer of the publishers’
page, Sirdata collects in real-time, and crosses data from multiple sources. First
time users receive a unique ID that is stored in the browser of the publisher’s site
via cookies allowing Sirdata to track Web user behaviors.
How does Sirdata comply with data privacy policies?
Sirdata takes consumer’s privacy very seriously. We ask all publishers to update
their privacy policy to reflect that of the Networking Advertising Initiative
(NAI’s) and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) guidelines, which means
publishers must disclose that they are collecting data, and provide a link to an opt
out option. Our particular model is privacy friendly, and does not collect or store
any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or sensitive information in its process
that is why it is a win/win solution for all parties involved.
