Apple keeps Hide My Email on icloud.com

Zusammenfassung des Signals

Apple announced in a developer blog that it will not move the iCloud+ feature "Hide My Email" ("E‑Mail‑Adresse verbergen") to a separate subdomain; the randomized forwarding addresses will continue to end with @icloud.com. The originally planned change — announced in June — would have unified forwarding addresses under private.icloud.com (and changed Sign in with Apple from privaterelay.appleid.com to private.icloud.com). Apple says it reversed the plan after community feedback because sites could have blocked all private.icloud.com addresses, inadvertently excluding regular iCloud users. The article also notes a prior security breach affecting the service and an ongoing class-action lawsuit in the U.S.

Permutive and TransUnion Partner to Enhance Sell-Side Curation

Permutive and TransUnion have announced an integration that enables publishers using Permutive's DMP to match their first-party audience data with TransUnion's identity graph and activate TransUnion audiences across Permutive's global publisher network. This addresses the limited addressability of the open internet, where only about 30% of traffic is addressable via cookies or alternative IDs, by leveraging multi-signal identity strategies. Early testing with a financial services advertiser showed a 12x increase in addressable impressions, a 5x increase in consumers reached, and a 170% overshoot of the KPI target. The partnership aims to provide a viable alternative to walled gardens, reduce data fees, and monetize previously unsold inventory, ultimately improving campaign accuracy and performance.
