Given today’s digital privacy minefield, publishers and advertisers must find ways to get information from their audiences without creeping them out. Many have turned to social login tools, like Facebook Connect and more recently Google+ Sign-In, that let users easily consent to port their social identities (and real-life profiles) to a publisher’s site.

Similar to Facebook’s Custom Audiences ad targeting, a publisher can use AudienceSync to collect users’ email addresses and match them up with brands’ existing customer email databases. Once that’s done, any AudienceSync user... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
