Brands Struggle with Identity Graph Compliance Issues

Identity graphs are crucial for enriching customer records with attributes, suppressing known users from acquisition campaigns, and managing frequency and sequencing across various marketing channels. However, not all identity graphs offer the same capabilities, and some may not meet modern marketing needs due to regulatory compliance issues such as GDPR and CCPA. To ensure high-confidence, deterministic linkages are essential for use cases like personalization or measurement, while probabilistic models also have their place. Brands must adopt identity resolution solutions that adhere to strict compliance standards, including transparent sourcing, consent management, and certifications like ISO 27001.

Butte Fund Honors Teens Who Stay Sober

Mariah's Challenge, a local scholarship fund in Butte, has been awarding scholarships to high school seniors who abstain from alcohol and drugs since 2009. The initiative was created in memory of Mariah McCarthy, a 14-year-old killed by a drunk driver in 2007. Founded by Leo McCarthy, the challenge requires recipients to follow its tenets: not drinking during four years of high school, not taking illicit drugs, and giving back to Butte. Over $500,000 has been awarded to 500 recipients, including Olympic skier Brad Wilson and NFL draft pick Tommy Mellott, as Mariah's Challenge reaches a significant milestone with 17 new graduates being honored in 2025.
