In the Didomi Console, a vendor represents an entity granted access to end-user data for processing, aligned with specified purposes.
Types of vendors in the Data Manager
The Didomi Console supports the following types of vendors:
- Global vendors: A predefined set of common vendors created by Didomi.
- IAB vendors: Vendors registered with the IAB TCF framework, linked to the IAB purposes they have selected. View the full list here.
- Google ATP vendors: Vendors listed in Google’s Ad Technology Providers (ATP) list, also linked to their chosen IAB purposes. View the list here.
- Custom vendors: Vendors you create to address specific privacy requirements.
Note: A 1st party vendor is automatically created for your organization to represent your entity's data processing. Learn more here.
Configuring custom vendors
For custom vendors, you can configure the following:
- Name: Specify the vendor's name.
- Privacy policy link: Provide a URL to the vendor's privacy policy.
- Type: Choose between 1st party or 3rd party.
- Purposes: Assign purposes and their legal bases (consent or legitimate interest).
- Storage information: Add cookie and additional storage details.
- Contact information: Provide the vendor’s address, email, or phone number (preferably for a privacy contact).
- SDK ID: Define a custom SDK ID in the Advanced section.
Notes about purpose settings
- For Global vendors, you can fully edit their purposes by adding or removing them.
- For IAB vendors, Google ATP vendors, and Google vendors, you can add purposes but cannot remove their IAB purposes.
If the IAB TCF framework is used in a notice under GDPR regulation, overrides to IAB vendors are not applied. Only the IAB purposes linked to the IAB vendor appear in the notice.
