Abstract: Systems and methods of matching identifiers between multiple datasets are described herein. A system can transmit a first identifier vector to a third party server. The first identifier vector can include a first identifier, first parameters, and second parameters. The system can receive, from the third party server, the first identifier vector encrypted based on a third-party encryption. The system can receive, from the third party server, a second identifier vector encrypted based on the third-party encryption associated with the third party server. The second identifier vector can include a second identifier, third parameters, and fourth parameters. The system can determine a correlation count between the first identifier vector and the second identifier vector. The system can determine that the first identifier corresponds to the second identifier based on the correlation count. The system can generate one identifier key for both the first identifier and the second identifier.

Abstract: Aggregated transaction data from a transaction data provider may be encrypted and exchanged with a content item selection system using commutative encryption algorithms. The transaction data provider and content item selection system may utilize a set of common identifiers that are each encrypted using a respective commutative encryption algorithm of the transaction data provider or content item selection system. The other of the transaction data provider or content item selection system encrypts the single-encrypted common identifier using a respective commutative encryption algorithm to generate double encrypted common identifiers. The double encrypted common identifiers may be used to match a set of common identifiers with transaction data. The transaction data may be encrypted and/or may include random offset values.

Abstract: Matching conversions from within applications on a client device to interactions with content items presented with resources may include receiving first data associated with an interaction with a content item displayed with a resource. The first data includes an application identifier for an application associated with the content item and an account identifier. The matching may also include receiving second data from the client device associated with a conversion using the application. The second data includes the application identifier and a device identifier for the client device. The matching may further include receiving third data from the client device that includes the account identifier and the device identifier. The conversion can be determined as associated with the interaction with the content item displayed with the resource based on matching the second data with the first data based on the third data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for providing content. The method includes anonymously linking at least two different identifiers associated with two different requesting sources. The linking uses an identifier that does not include any personally identifiable information. A request is received from a user to create a bookmark for a resource that was presented on a first device having an associated first identifier. The bookmark or a reference to the bookmark is stored. Bookmarks associated with the user are synched across multiple requesting sources using the anonymous linking. After synching, a request to access saved bookmarks is received from a user when accessing a second different device. Based at least in part on the synched bookmarks, the bookmark is provided, or a link to the bookmark is provided, enabling presentation of a resource associated with the bookmark.
