Singapore – Yahoo DSP has announced that it is the first Demand Side Platform (DSP) to adopt IAB Tech Lab’s standardised Data Transparency Labels, a move aimed at providing advertisers with clearer insights into audience data.
IAB Tech Lab’s Data Transparency Labels use a “Nutrition Label” format to provide marketers, agencies, and data providers with clear, standardised audience data. Created to meet the industry’s growing demand for transparency, these labels offer essential insights to help advertisers make informed decisions.
With the integration of IAB Tech Lab’s Data Transparency Labels, Yahoo DSP provides advertisers with standardised insights into the origin, recency, and segmentation of data segments used in campaigns. The initiative is intended to enhance decision-making, improve campaign performance, and strengthen accountability across the data supply chain.
“Yahoo DSP becoming the first major platform to implement the Data Transparency Labels is a practical step forward for the industry. It’s a clear move toward better accountability and trust in data-driven advertising, and it sets a straightforward example for others to follow,” said Anthony Katsur, CEO of IAB Tech Lab.
Yahoo DSP’s adoption of IAB Tech Lab’s Data Transparency Labels aligns with its broader efforts to enhance transparency and data accountability. The labels, set to be available in early 2025, will provide advertisers with standardised insights into data segments, supporting more informed decision-making across campaigns.
Giovanni Gardelli, vice president of DSP Data Products at Yahoo, said, “Transparency is critical to reinforce trust and drive better outcomes for advertisers. Our adoption of IAB Tech Lab’s Data Transparency Labels reflects Yahoo’s commitment to delivering the highest level of clarity and quality to our partners. We are proud to lead the industry in this transformative initiative.”
Dan Richardson, director of data & insights for AUSEA at Yahoo, added, “The Data Transparency Label is a key milestone and reflective of Yahoo’s mission to guide advertisers through the digital wilderness—helping them navigate complex ecosystems with confidence. We are proud to be among the first to adopt these labels and deliver greater accountability to marketers striving to connect with their audiences in a compliant and ethical way.”
