EUID Overview for Private Operators

Own the process of generating EUIDs from personal data in a private environment.

Private Operators

Private Operators of EUID send first-party personal data to a secure environment for translation, and control the destinations for those identifiers. A participant that chooses to become a private Operator (previously known as closed Operator) can generate and manage EUIDs, running an EUID Operator service in a private environment.

Learn about what the EUID framework offers to private Operators, including benefits, hosting options, documentation and other resources, and how to get started.

Benefits​

Here are some of the intended benefits of participating in EUID as a private Operator:

  • You can maintain privacy-conscious workflows for your customer data to be encrypted and activated across chosen partners.
  • You can participate in EUID using your own first-party personal data without sharing it.
  • You have full control of resources, performance, and latency for EUID.
  • You can plan to minimize network hops with a service that can provide regional proximity.
  • You can implement processes and policies that you control, as opposed to taking part in a shared service.

For details, see The EUID Operator.

Hosting Options for Private Operators​

  • Use a cloud services setup. EUID supports hosting EUID in an enclave on the following cloud service provider (medium level of effort to implement):
    • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Use your own machines to generate and manage EUIDs (greater level of effort to implement).
