When Identities Don’t Line Up, Everything Suffers
You’ve seen the signs: one customer showing up five times in your database. Clicks and purchases that can’t be traced to a single profile. Conflicting data stitched together by guesswork. Identity graphs promise coherent audiences, but too often they deliver big match rates and brittle outcomes.
The missing ingredient isn’t a bigger graph — it’s better inputs.
Specifically deterministic email anchors, alternate-address coverage that nets the household, and activity signals that tell you whether an identity is active. These assets stop identity from being a rearview mirror and make it a forward-looking decision engine.
Even the best systems can fall short when critical identity signals are missing, incomplete, or outdated. And that means personalization, measurement, attribution, even fraud prevention, start to break down.
What Better Data Looks Like
Static graphs fail because they conflate existence with usefulness. A match is only useful when it’s reachable, recent, and trustworthy. AtData fills in the gaps that other sources miss. Instead of guessing who someone is, we help you know.
- Verified email + postal + name combinations that provide a stable foundation across systems.
- Alternate email pairings that reveal cross-platform identities and reduce fragmentation.
- Behavioral engagement data to deprioritize stale records and refine resolution.
- Demographic and inferred household traits to strengthen segmentation and modeling.
- Linkages confirmed through real-world behavior for high-confidence identity matching.
It’s not about adding more records. It’s about connecting the right ones.
What Happens When You Get It Right
When your identity graph is built on reliable, email-centric data, things start to click:
- Fragmented profiles come together
- Match rates increase across partners and platforms
- Personalized experiences feel seamless, not stitched
- Analytics tell a clearer story
- Fraud signals surface faster
- Data teams stop cleaning and start building
This is what happens when identity becomes an asset, not an obstacle.
Smarter Graphs with AtData Expertise
-
Resolve More Identities
Map fragmented profiles to a single person using verified name, postal, and email combinations—no guesswork required.
-
Unify Alternate Records
Link users across platforms and life stages with over 4.2 billion alternate email pairings that reduce duplication and fill in the blanks.
-
Filter Out the Dead Ends
Use Open Score to deprioritize stale or dormant emails and identify an individual’s more active ones — so you’re not wasting resources on records that won’t respond.
-
Enrich Without PII
Utilize hashed email addresses and add household-level demographics like age range and income bracket to build smarter segments without relying on sensitive personal data.
-
Strengthen Downstream Performance
A cleaner, more complete graph improves everything it powers — from audience targeting and personalization to fraud prevention and attribution.
You Bring the Graph. We Bring the Signals.
Whether you’re maintaining a graph in-house, enriching a third-party solution, or licensing identity into a broader ecosystem, AtData gives you the flexibility to get what you need, on your terms.

The Durable Anchor
An email-anchored identity is the single most practical cross-device key available to modern marketers. Unlike cookies or device IDs, validated email addresses persist across sessions, apps, and browsers. But an email file is more than a list of addresses. The value comes from deterministic linkages to observed events and metadata.
What that gives you is reliable joins and the confidence to stitch impressions to outcomes. When identity graphs are anchored with high-confidence email links, audiences stop fragmenting across devices — they cohere around people, not sessions.
-
Real Reach, Not Illusion
Households and individuals often use multiple addresses: personal, work, shopping, family accounts, or recycled addresses. Alternate emails map those relationships so your identity graph can consolidate intent without inventing it.
This matters because alternate linkages expand addressable reach responsibly while reducing duplication. Instead of probabilistically guessing that Device A and Device B are the same person, you can deterministically connect multiple emails to the same household or buyer. That improves cross-device delivery, reduces double-serving, and increases match confidence in programmatic activations.
-
Activity as True Currency
Match alone is not the point. Reachability and recency are. Email activity intelligence answers the single most practical question for marketers and measurement teams: is this email active? Last-open, frequency, and engagement decay curves are powerful predictors of whether an address will see an offer, click, or convert, and whether it will harm deliverability when you send to it.
In short, open data lets you weigh matches by life-signal rather than treating every matched row equally.
Whether you’re maintaining a graph in-house, enriching a third-party solution, or licensing identity into a broader ecosystem, AtData gives you the flexibility to get what you need, on your terms.
