DTX_ID — Universal Person Identifier

DTX_ID is AI CDP's universal person identifier — analogous to LiveRamp's RampID. It represents the actual person, not the account holder.

The Spouse Scenario

Ahmed holds PartyID P001 with two MSISDNs. He uses one; his spouse uses the other. Billing sees one account, but AI CDP creates two DTX_IDs — D001 (Ahmed) and D002 (Spouse) — via behavioral signals.

Properties

  • System-generated UUID v4, immutable once created
  • Pseudonymous token — not PII itself
  • Hash/token stored; mappings secured separately
