Our companies

Data management platform 

A Data management platform (DMP) is a technology platform used for collecting and managing data, mainly for digital marketing purposes. FirstPrinciples supplies DMPs with data so that the DMP can generate audience segments, which are used by advertisers to target specific types of users in online advertising campaigns. FirstPrinciples uses 3rd party CRM to store all data which have their own security features to safeguard the data and are not controlled by FirstPrinciples.

In addition, we may disclose your information to the extent that we are required to do so by law (which may include to government bodies and law enforcement agencies); in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings; and in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention).
