Best options Platform First-party customer lists Privacy/compliance controls My take for Australia --- --- --- --- Google Ads – Customer Match Yes SHA-256 hashing, customer-data policies,…
Google supports SHA-256 hashing of email/phone/name data, and its policy explicitly requires advertisers to have collected the data in compliance with applicable laws.
Google says Customer Match files are subject to limited data use: the uploaded files aren't used to build or enhance customer profiles and are restricted to creating Customer Match audiences and policy compliance.
