LiveRamp helps companies share and use data about their customers without exposing private information. It acts like a translator between different data systems, letting advertisers, retailers, and media companies connect their data safely. Its core product is a "data collaboration" platform, and its customers include major brands, advertising agencies, and large retailers.

LiveRamp makes most of its money through software subscriptions, charging businesses recurring fees to access its platform. It operates mainly in the United States but has been expanding into Europe and Asia-Pacific. Its main competitive advantage is its large network of data partners — the more companies that connect to its platform, the more valuable it becomes for everyone using it. The key risk is that stricter privacy laws and the phase-out of third-party cookies could either hurt demand for its services or force costly changes to how its technology works.
