Amazon DSP – Security & Privacy

Protecting Data in Programmatic Advertising

Deploying programmatic campaigns requires robust data protection. Within the Amazon DSP, Digitl helps organizations architect secure data workflows, keeping proprietary audiences and customer insights isolated and aligned with global privacy frameworks.

Secure Audiences

Digitl ensures that custom audience uploads and external data integrations adhere to enterprise security standards – data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and customer records are securely hashed before activation.

Access Management

The team enforces strict user management and need-to-know principles, ensuring only authorized personnel can launch campaigns or access sensitive AMC clean room instances.

Campaign Governance & Compliance

Experts provide campaign architecture support and pre-launch checklists, ensuring all data activation and targeting setups align with privacy regulations and Amazon policies.

Data Clean Rooms

Utilizing privacy-first infrastructure, the team facilitates advanced analytics without ever exposing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to unauthorized parties.

Secure Audience Onboarding

Digitl helps clients securely hash and upload their audiences lists directly into the Amazon DSP. By using standard encryption and hashing protocols, first-party customer data can be matched with Amazon audiences safely without exposing raw user information.

Privacy-First Measurement

The team uses the Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) to run cross-channel analytics. AMC operates as a privacy-safe "clean room" that uses only pseudonymized, aggregated signals. This allows us to measure touchpoints and performance without ever accessing individual user data.

Strict Data Governance

Digitl operates under a strict Data Use Agreement. This contract legally binds parties to use multi-factor authentication, apply industry-standard encryption, and logically segregate any Amazon Confidential Data that is handeld for analytics from all other datasets.

Brand Safety & Transparency

We provide proven frameworks for brand safety, guiding your team on how to configure effective allowlists and blocklists before launch. We also advise prioritizing premium, vetted inventory from Amazon Publisher Direct (APD) over unknown open-exchange sites.

Advertiser Policy Compliance

Amazon enforces strict creative rules depending on your brand, such as different requirements for endemic (Link-In) versus non-endemic (Link-Out) advertisers. Digitl's team helps you check your assets against these specific policies before launch to prevent annoying campaign rejections.

Cookie-Free Contextual Targeting

To reduce reliance on third-party cookies, Amazon provides contextual targeting options. This allows your campaigns to trigger your ads based on exactly what a user is viewing in in that same moment, such as specific product categories, movie genres, or streaming topics.

Inventory Quality & Viewability

Wasted media spend due to invalid traffic is a major concern. We provide best-practice checklists guiding your team to configure strict Order-level frequency caps and successfully integrate third-party viewability filters (like IAS or DV).
