Progressive profiling

As explained in First-Party Data Activation

Progressive profiling is a technique for collecting additional user attributes incrementally across interactions rather than requesting all information at once.

Progressive profiling collects user attributes incrementally across interactions instead of requesting a complete profile at once. Opt-in forms exchange valuable content or offers for identifying information, gradually converting an anonymous visitor into a more complete customer profile. section 6.2

Email in exchange for value

A visitor first provides an email address through an opt-in content offer; later interactions can add further attributes without demanding every detail initially. section 6.2

How First-Party Data Activation covers it

How deep it goes
Explains the incremental opt-in approach and its value exchange, without detailing form orchestration or implementation mechanics.
Examples
Uses opt-in forms, email addresses, valuable content, and offers as progressive profiling artifacts.
What you can do after
Apply progressive profiling by placing opt-in forms throughout a visitor journey and exchanging value for additional attributes.
How it connects
Connects anonymous users with identity resolution, customer profiles, and single sign-on.
