Unlocking Retail Potential with Data Anonymization
Challenge
A retail company* faced a key issue — the inefficient use of customer data. Despite having extensive databases on purchases and user behavior, the company was unable to fully leverage this data for analysis and business decision-making due to the inability to obtain customer consent for processing personal information. This limited their ability to conduct in-depth analysis, develop personalized offers, and improve marketing efforts.
Additionally, due to privacy concerns, the company could not share its data with external partners, which hindered innovation and improvements in products and services. All these limitations resulted in missed opportunities to enhance customer loyalty, improve service quality, and, consequently, reduced competitiveness.
*The company's name is not disclosed in compliance with confidentiality agreements.
Solution
Product: Data Anonymization Tool
To address these issues, the company implemented the Lingvanex Data Anonymization Tool — a data anonymization solution that allowed them to hide or de-identify personal information while preserving the value of the data for analysis. The implementation of this tool enabled the company to:
Hide personal data — all sensitive data was anonymized, ensuring its security and compliance with legal requirements (e.g., GDPR).
Continue using data for analysis — anonymized data was utilized to analyze customer behavior and make business decisions.
Provide data to external partners — the company was able to securely share anonymized data with partners for joint research and new product development.
Results
The implementation of the Lingvanex Data Anonymization Tool allowed the company to increase the accuracy of personalized recommendations, resulting in a 35% sales growth. More effective use of anonymized data improved the targeting of advertising campaigns, reducing opt-out rates by 20%. The company also started sharing anonymized data with partners, which expanded the volume of accessible information by 50% and opened new opportunities for joint development.
Additionally, through data anonymization, the company significantly reduced legal risks associated with processing personal information, decreasing them by 40%. Compliance with regulatory requirements, such as GDPR, was achieved without compromising analytics, which increased customer trust and ensured business process security. As a result, the company improved its business operations and strengthened its competitiveness in the market.
