AdjustWhat do data privacy laws mean for mobile marketers? | Adjust
Summary
The American Privacy Rights Act of 2024 (APRA) is a proposed U.S. federal privacy law that, if enacted, will significantly impact mobile marketing by limiting access to device-specific data for attribution and optimization. Similar to the GDPR, APRA focuses on consumer data protection, consent, and deletion policies.
This shift forces marketers to adopt next-generation technologies such as incrementality testing, marketing mix modeling, and predictive LTV, powered by AI and machine learning, to derive insights from aggregated, anonymized data. While device IDs remain usable with consent, these new methods ensure compliance with evolving global privacy frameworks. The article emphasizes that adjusting to these changes is crucial for maintaining app growth, and highlights Adjust's solutions as future-proof tools for mobile measurement in the privacy era.

AdjustTurn incrementality into better budget decisions | Adjust
Incrementality testing complements attribution by quantifying the causal impact of marketing spend. For ad ops decision-makers, key insights: match the metric to the business decision—installs for acquisition, revenue for ROAS. Interpret results by checking incremental effect, statistical significance, and organic cannibalization. Use these to guide budget: increase spend when incrementality is significant and exceeds targets; maintain when stable; reduce or reallocate when lift is low or cannibalization occurs. Never mix metrics from different test types.
