Snowflake Integration Guide

Snowflake is a cloud data warehousing solution, where you as a partner can store your data and integrate with the UID2 framework. Using Snowflake, UID2 enables you to securely share authorized consumer identifier data without exposing sensitive directly identifying information (DII). Even though you have the option to query the Operator Web Services directly for the consumer identifier data, the Snowflake UID2 integration offers a more seamless experience.

The following listings for UID2 are available on the Snowflake marketplace:

• For advertisers: Unified ID 2.0: Advertiser Identity Solution
• For data providers: Unified ID 2.0: Data Provider Identity Solution

Functionality

The following table summarizes the functionality available with the UID2 Snowflake integration.

Encrypt Raw UID2 to UID2 Token	Decrypt Raw UID2 from UID2 Token	Generate UID2 Token from DII	Refresh UID2 Token	Map DII to a raw UID2
Yes	Yes	No*	No	Yes

*You cannot generate a UID2 token directly from DII. However, you can convert DII to a raw UID2, and then encrypt the raw UID2 into a UID2 token.

NOTE: If you are a publisher who is sharing UID2 tokens in the bid stream, see Tokenized Sharing in the Bid Stream.

Workflow Diagram

The following diagram illustrates how you engage with the UID2 integration process in Snowflake:

Partner Snowflake Account	UID2 Snowflake Account	UID2 Core Opt-Out Cloud Setup
As a partner, you set up a Snowflake account to host your data and engage in UID2 integration by consuming functions and views through the UID2 Share.	UID2 integration, hosted in a Snowflake account, grants you access to authorized functions and views that draw data from private tables. You can’t access the private tables. The UID2 Share reveals only essential data needed for you to perform UID2-related tasks.	ETL (Extract Transform Load) jobs constantly update the UID2 Core/Optout Snowflake storage with internal data that powers the UID2 Operator Web Services. The data used by the Operator Web Services is also available through the UID2 Share.
When you use shared functions and views, you pay Snowflake for transactional computation costs.	These private tables, secured in the UID2 Snowflake account, automatically synchronize with the UID2 Core/Optout Snowflake storage that holds internal data used to complete UID2-related tasks.

Access the UID2 Shares

Access to the UID2 Share is available through the Snowflake Data Marketplace, where you can request specific data sets based on the UID2 personalized listing you select.

There are two personalized listings offered in the Snowflake Data Marketplace for UID2:

• Unified ID 2.0 Advertiser Identity Solution for advertisers/brands
• Unified ID 2.0 Data Provider Identity Solution for data providers

IMPORTANT: To be able to request data, you must use the ACCOUNTADMIN role or another role with the CREATE DATABASE and IMPORT SHARE privileges in your Snowflake account.

To request access to a UID2 Share, complete the following steps:

1. Log in to the Snowflake Data Marketplace and select the UID2 solution that you are interested in:
   • Unified ID 2.0 Advertiser Identity Solution
   • Unified ID 2.0 Data Provider Identity Solution
2. In the Personalized Data section, click Request Data.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to verify and provide your contact details and other required information.
4. If you are an existing client of The Trade Desk and are interested in the Advertiser Identity Solution, include your partner and advertiser IDs issued by The Trade Desk in the Message field of the data request form.
5. Submit the form.

After your request is received, a UID2 administrator will contact you with the appropriate access instructions. For details about managing data requests in Snowflake, see the Snowflake documentation.

Shared Objects

Regardless of the UID2 solution you choose, you can map DII to UID2s by using the following function:

• FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP (See Map DII)

The following functions are deprecated in favor of FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP. You can still use them, but FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP is better. If you are already using these functions, we recommend upgrading as soon as possible.

• FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP_EMAIL (deprecated)
• FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP_EMAIL_HASH (deprecated)

NOTE: If you are using the deprecated functions, and need help migrating to the newer function, see Migration Guide.

To identify the UID2s that you must regenerate, use the UID2_SALT_BUCKETS view from the UID2 Share. For details, see Regenerate UID2s.

The following functions are also available, for UID2 sharing participants:

• FN_T_UID2_ENCRYPT (See Encrypt Tokens)
• FN_T_UID2_DECRYPT (See Decrypt Tokens)

For details, see Usage for UID2 Sharers.

Database and Schema Names

The following sections include query examples for each solution, which are identical except for the database and schema name variables:

{DATABASE_NAME}.{SCHEMA_NAME}

For example:

select UID2, BUCKET_ID, UNMAPPED from table({DATABASE_NAME}.{SCHEMA_NAME}.FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP('validate@example.com', 'email'));

All query examples use the following default values for each name variable:

Variable	Advertiser Solution Default Value	Data Provider Solution Default Value	Comments
{DATABASE_NAME}	UID2_PROD_ADV_SH	UID2_PROD_DP_SH	If needed, you can change the default database name when creating a new database after you are granted access to the selected UID2 Share.
{SCHEMA_NAME}	ADV	DP	This is an immutable name.

Map DII

To map all types of DII, use the FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP function.

If the DII is an email address, the service normalizes the data using the UID2 Email Address Normalization rules.

If the DII is a phone number, you must normalize it before sending it to the service, using the UID2 Phone Number Normalization rules.

Argument	Data Type	Description
INPUT	varchar(256)	The DII to map to the UID2 and second-level bucket ID.
INPUT_TYPE	varchar(256)	The type of DII to map. Allowed values: email, email_hash, phone, and phone_hash.

A successful query returns the following information for the specified DII.

Column Name	Data Type	Description
UID2	TEXT	The value is one of the following: DII was successfully mapped: The UID2 associated with the DII. DII was not successfully mapped: NULL.
BUCKET_ID	TEXT	The value is one of the following: DII was successfully mapped: The ID of the second-level salt bucket used to generate the UID2. This ID maps to the bucket ID in the UID2_SALT_BUCKETS view. DII was not successfully mapped: NULL.
UNMAPPED	TEXT	The value is one of the following: DII was successfully mapped: NULL. DII was not successfully mapped: The reason why the identifier was not mapped: OPTOUT, INVALID IDENTIFIER, or INVALID INPUT TYPE. For details, see Values for the UNMAPPED Column.

Values for the UNMAPPED Column

The following table shows possible values for the UNMAPPED column.

Value	Meaning
NULL	The DII was successfully mapped.
OPTOUT	The user has opted out.
INVALID IDENTIFIER	The email address or phone number is invalid.
INVALID INPUT TYPE	The value of INPUT_TYPE is invalid. Valid values for INPUT_TYPE are: email, email_hash, phone, phone_hash.

Regenerate UID2s

The UID2_SALT_BUCKETS view query returns the date and time when the second-level salt buckets were last updated. Second-level salt is used when generating UID2s. When the salt in the bucket is updated, the previously generated UID2 becomes outdated and doesn’t match the UID2 generated by other parties for the same user.

To determine which UID2s need regeneration, compare the timestamps of when they were generated to the most recent timestamp of the second-level salt bucket update.

Column Name	Data Type	Description
BUCKET_ID	TEXT	The ID of the second-level salt bucket. This ID parallels the BUCKET_ID returned by the identity map function. Use the BUCKET_ID as the key to do a join query between the function call results and results from this view call.
LAST_SALT_UPDATE_UTC	TIMESTAMP_NTZ	The last time the salt in the bucket was updated. This value is expressed in UTC.

The following example shows an input table and the query used to find the UID2s in the table that must be regenerated because the second-level salt was updated.

Targeted Input Table

In this example scenario, the advertiser/data provider has stored the UID2s in a table named AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2. The last column, LAST_UID2_UPDATE_UTC, is used to record the time at which a UID2 was generated. If no UID2 has been generated, the value is NULL, as shown in the third example. The advertiser/data provider can use this timestamp value to determine which UID2s need to be regenerated.

select * from AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2;

+----+----------------------+----------------------------------------------+------------+-------------------------+
| ID | EMAIL                | UID2                                         | BUCKET_ID  | LAST_UID2_UPDATE_UTC    |

+----+----------------------+----------------------------------------------+------------+-------------------------+

To find missing or outdated UID2s, use the following query examples, which use the default database and schema names.

Advertiser solution query:

select a.*, b.LAST_SALT_UPDATE_UTC
  from AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2 a LEFT OUTER JOIN UID2_PROD_ADV_SH.ADV.UID2_SALT_BUCKETS b
  on a.BUCKET_ID=b.BUCKET_ID
  where a.LAST_UID2_UPDATE_UTC < b.LAST_SALT_UPDATE_UTC or a.UID2 IS NULL;

Data provider solution query:

select a.*, b.LAST_SALT_UPDATE_UTC
  from AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2 a LEFT OUTER JOIN UID2_PROD_DP_SH.DP.UID2_SALT_BUCKETS b
  on a.BUCKET_ID=b.BUCKET_ID
  where a.LAST_UID2_UPDATE_UTC < b.LAST_SALT_UPDATE_UTC or a.UID2 IS NULL;

Query results:

The following table identifies each item in the response. The result includes an email, UID2, BUCKET_ID, LAST_UID2_UPDATE_UTC, and LAST_SALT_UPDATE_UTC as shown in the ID 1 example below. No information is returned for ID 2 because the corresponding UID2 was generated after the last bucket update. For ID 3, NULL values are returned due to a missing UID2.

Migration Guide

If you are using the FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP_EMAIL and FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP_EMAIL_HASH functions, it's best to migrate to the FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP function as soon as possible. This function does everything that the other two functions do, and has other built-in improvements.

Advantages of the FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP function:

• It supports mapping both phone numbers and hashed phone numbers.
• It supports user opt-out.
• It adds a new column, UNMAPPED. In any scenario where the DII cannot be mapped to a UID2 for any reason, this column includes information about the reason.
  For details, see Values for the UNMAPPED Column

This section includes the following information to help you upgrade to the new function:

• Changing Existing Code
• Using the Values for the UNMAPPED Column

Changing Existing Code

The code snippets in this section are before/after examples of how the earlier functions might be implemented, and how you could update to use the new function.

Example for mapping unhashed emails

Before:

FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP_EMAIL(EMAIL)

After:

FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP(EMAIL, 'email')

Example for mapping unhashed emails

Before:

FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP_EMAIL_HASH(EMAIL_HASH)

After:

FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP(EMAIL_HASH, 'email_hash')

Using the Values for the UNMAPPED Column

When you have the new function implemented, you can check the UNMAPPED column returned by the FN_T_UID2_IDENTITY_MAP. If any DII could not be mapped to a UID2, this column gives the reason.

For details about the values and their explanations, see Values for the UNMAPPED Column.

Usage for UID2 Sharers

A UID2 sharer is any participant that wants to share UID2s with another participant. Advertisers and data providers can share UID2s with other authorized UID2 sharing participants via Snowflake. For details, see UID2 Sharing: Overview.

A Sharing participant must encrypt raw UID2s into UID2 tokens before sending them to another participant.

IMPORTANT: The UID2 token generated during this process is for sharing only—you cannot use it in the bid stream. There is a different workflow for generating tokens for the bid stream: see Tokenized Sharing in the Bid Stream.

The following scenarios support UID2 sharing:

• Encrypt Tokens
• Decrypt Tokens

Encrypt Tokens

To encrypt raw UID2s to UID2 tokens, use the FN_T_UID2_ENCRYPT function. Use the applicable prefix to indicate your role:

• For advertisers: ADV.FN_T_UID2_ENCRYPT

UID2 Sharing Example

The following instructions provide an example of how sharing works for a sender and a receiver both using Snowflake. In this example scenario an advertiser (the sender) has an audience table with raw UID2s (AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2) and wants to make data in the table available to a data provider (the receiver) using the Snowflake Secure Data Sharing feature.

Sender Instructions

1. Create a new table named AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2_TOKENS.
2. Encrypt the raw UID2s in the AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2S table and store the result in the AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2_TOKENS table. For example, the following query could help achieve this task:

   insert into AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2_TOKENS select a.ID, t.UID2_TOKEN from AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2S a, lateral UID2_PROD_ADV_SH.ADV.FN_T_UID2_ENCRYPT(a.RAW_UID2) t;
3. Create a secure share and grant it access to the AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2_TOKENS table.
4. Grant the receiver access to the secure share.

WARNING: To help prevent UID2 tokens from expiring during sharing, send the newly encrypted UID2 tokens to the receiver as soon as possible.

Receiver Instructions

1. Create a database from the secure share that the sender provided access to.
2. Create a new table named RECEIVED_AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2.
3. Decrypt tokens from the shared AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2_TOKENS table and store the result in the RECEIVED_AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2 table. For example, the following query could be used to achieve this:

   insert into RECEIVED_AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2
     select a.ID, b.UID2, CASE WHEN b.UID2 IS NULL THEN 'DECRYPT_FAILED' ELSE b.DECRYPTION_STATUS END as DECRYPTION_STATUS
       from AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2_TOKENS a LEFT OUTER JOIN (
         select ID, t.* from AUDIENCE_WITH_UID2_TOKENS, lateral UID2_PROD_DP_SH.DP.FN_T_UID2_DECRYPT(UID2_TOKEN) t) b
       on a.ID=b.ID;

WARNING: To help prevent UID2 tokens from expiring, decrypt the UID2 tokens as soon as they become available from the sender.
