## What is a Customer Data Platform (CDP)?

A customer data platform captures data from every customer touchpoint, ensures that data can be trusted, builds user profiles, and activates insights in your existing tools to drive better experiences and boost revenue.

## Twilio Segment’s CDP puts data at the heart of Twilio

Use data-driven context to create personalized customer experiences that acquire users efficiently, increase loyalty, and grow lifetime value.

**Unified profiles, activated anywhere.**

A single, unified view of each customer with data from every touchpoint, including the data warehouse. These profiles can be activated across any tool or channel—marketing, analytics, customer support, and more—to power personalized, real-time experiences.

**Extensibility on an open platform.**
