Among the Best Privacy-First Audience Data Providers in 2026

The future of advertising needs better audience intelligence - not more personal data.
We’re excited to share that Global Data Resources has been recognised among the top 10 Best Privacy-First Audience Data Providers in 2026, in a new industry research published by Lara Translate.
Better understanding - without the identifiers
As the advertising industry evolves beyond cookies, mobile IDs and traditional identity-based targeting, the need for meaningful, privacy-first audience intelligence continues to grow.
At GDR, we turn geo-demographic intelligence into actionable audience signals. All for brands and media teams to easily understand consumer patterns, activate relevant audiences and drive performance without relying on personal identifiers.
Our approach combines real-world location intelligence, consumer insights and scalable activation to make privacy-first marketing practical, not just aspirational.
The next chapter is already taking shape
With IDfree.ai, we’re bringing audience intelligence, market insights, and media activation together in a single AI-powered workflow.
The goal is simple: make sophisticated audience activation easier, faster and more accessible.
Because the future isn't about knowing more about individuals.
It's about understanding the patterns that matter.
We see patterns. Not people.
We're proud to be part of this year's overview - and even more excited about what's ahead.
