Vendors

In the Didomi Console, a vendor represents an entity granted access to end-user data for processing, aligned with specified purposes.

The different 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: The vendors registered with the IAB TCF framework, and linked to the IAB purposes they have selected. View the full list here.
• Google ATP vendors: The vendors listed in Google’s Ad Technology Providers (ATP) list, also linked to their chosen IAB purposes. View the list here.
• Custom vendors: the vendors you create yourself to address specific privacy requirements.

Note: A 1st party vendor is also automatically created for your organization to represent your entity's data processing. Learn more here.

Configuring custom vendors

When you create your own vendors, that is to say 'custom vendors', you can configure the following parameters:

• 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. This is useful when you need to make the link with vendors created in a previous CMP in particular.
  
  

Notes about purpose settings:

• For Global vendors, you can fully edit their purposes by adding or removing them directly from the Data Manager.
• For IAB vendors, Google ATP vendors, and Google vendors, you can add purposes but cannot remove their IAB purposes.
