First party data

Nefta collects a large amount of first party data to deliver value to partners. Nefta's core deep learning models ingest this data to understand user value and provide user insights, improve ad revenue and ROAS campaigns.

Automatic AdSDK data collection

The integrated Nefta SDK automatically collects certain data from partners. Device data, user sessions and ad engagement events are recorded automatically.

Manual AdSDK data collection

The integrated SDK provides an interface for partners to configure specific event tags throughout the game or app.

Nefta has four types of SDK events requiring partner integration.

  • Purchase events: A specific event for In App Purchases (IAPs).
  • Progression events: An event to track progression through the game.
  • Receive events: An event where the player "gets" something to their account or inventory.
  • Spend events: An event where something is spent from the account or inventory.
