Specifying Uses

As part of a Data License, you not only define what data is collected, but how it will be used. These fields are specifically designed to simplify building enforcement rules, and are not typically displayed to the user.

Use Cases

The purpose for the data collection.

For example, the use of a user's MAID (IDFA/GAID) for ad attribution. The license is for the MAID asset (see Selecting a Pointer Record), and the use case is ad attribution.

Use cases are an enumerated string, with support for custom use cases in the format of custom:<custom_usecase>. Supported Enums:

Enum	Description
attribution	determine the actions that led to an outcome
retargeting	advertise to and reach users, often on other platforms
personalization	tailor messaging, offers, features, etc., to an individual
ai_training	train machine learning models with user data
distribution	distribute/relicense data, insights, signals, etc., to 3rd-parties
analytics	extract insights and signals from user data
support	add user data into customer support processes
custom:<xyz>	a custom use case relevant to your business

Destinations

Use include an optional destination field, where the asset may be explicitly stored or processed explicitly for the use case. This is helpful in license enforcement when one or more 3rd-parties are involved in the use.

Destinations may be either:

an explicit destination (your-co.com) or category of destinations (data marketplaces).
[recommended] Regex (ECMAScript) such as '\.your-co\.com' which functions akin to a subdomain wildcard. Don't forget to escape tokens like . → \. 🙃.

Example

TikiSdk.config()
  .offer
  	.use({
  		usecases:[
        TikiSdk.LicenseUsecase.attribution(),
        TikiSdk.LicenseUsecase.custom("YOUR CUSTOM USECASE")
      ],
  		destinations: [
        '\.your-co\.com',
        '\.facebook\.com'
      ]
	})

try? TikiSdk.config()
		.offer
			.use(
              usecases: [
                LicenseUsecase.attribution,
                LicenseUsecase("YOUR CUSTOM USECASE")
              ],
              destinations: [
                "\.your-co\.com",
                "\.facebook\.com"
              ])

TikiSdk
	.offer
		.use(
          listOf(
            LicenseUsecase.ATTRIBUTION, 
            LicenseUsecase("YOUR CUSTOM USECASE")
          ),
          listOf(
            "\.your-co\.com",
            "\.facebook\.com"
          )
        )

await TikiSdk.config()
  	.offer
  		.use(
  			[
          	  LicenseUsecase.attribution(),
          	  LicenseUsecase.custom("YOUR CUSTOM USECASE")
        	],
            destinations: [
              "\.your-co\.com",
              "\.facebook\.com"
            ])
