Google Ads segment Sync allows you to target your 1st party contacts on Google properties using 6sense segments.
6sense identifies 1st party contacts from your integrated CRM and/or MAP that match the list of accounts within your selected segment.
6sense uploads the matched contacts to Google Ads as Custom Audience and refreshes dynamically to keep in sync with the latest segment membership.
Packaging and sync limits
Most 6sense ABM packages include a certain number of segment syncs that can be used interchangeably across all available channels, including Google Ads, at no additional cost. Your sync limit reflects the number of segment syncs that your account is allowed to have active at any one time.
The sync limit is set by the allotment specified in your contract.
A segment sync is defined as a unique segment being actively synced to a unique channel. There is an in-product restriction and notification if you try to sync additional segments beyond your contracted limit.
You can pause any unused segment syncs to make space for new ones. Alternatively, you can purchase increased sync limits by contacting your Customer Success Manager.
The “sale” or “share” of personal data
Should you opt to use the 6sense Google Ad Sync, 6sense will share with Google customer data from customer’s CRM that might constitute Personal Information (under the CPRA, as defined below) and might be considered a “share” or “sale” of data under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”).
Should you opt to use this service, it will constitute your company’s authorization for 6sense to “share” or “sale” such data with Google under the CPRA, if applicable, for purposes of the 6sense Google Ad Sync services and 6sense will act as an authorized third party of customer under the CPRA. 6sense will maintain the level of privacy protection as is required by the CPRA.
Customer is responsible for complying with any requirements that might apply to a business when selling or sharing Personal Information with a third party under the CPRA and in accordance with Google’s Customer Match Policy.
6sense has updated its standard terms to reflect certain additional language in the CPRA related to service provider contract requirements, including the language above.
We have also added language to reflect that for customers that use the certain 6sense advertising features, and if the feature is considered a “share” under the CPRA, 6sense will act as an authorized third party of Customer under the CPRA, subject to any additional obligations as might be set out in the CPRA and its regulations, when finalized.
