First-party data is information that an organization collects directly from users and customers, and which it owns. The data can come from multiple sources like a company’s CRM, social media, transactional systems, an advertiser’s web and mobile analytics tools, subscriptions and newsletter signups or marketing campaigns. It can also be taken from offline sources, e.g. in-person events or sales calls.
