Is your data truly zero-party data?
In this guide, we’ll demystify what zero-party data is, why it matters, and how three B2B companies approach their zero-party data collection strategy in today’s world of personalization.
Zero-party data (also known as customer-first data) is data customers directly and voluntarily share about themselves through sources like quizzes, website pop-ups, and DMs on social media platforms.
Common examples of zero-party data include:
First-party data is data customers share during a transaction (e.g., customer adding shipping information at the checkout page).
First-party data also refers to data collected during a behavioral analysis—like when you analyze a lead’s website activity to determine if they show purchase intent.
While zero-party data offers valuable insights that personalize your marketing efforts, first-party data segments your customers in the right buckets and predicts their future behavior.
Here’s a snapshot that details the core differences between zero-party data and first-party data:
Second-party data is similar to first-party data, except that the data is acquired from co-partners (e.g., social media profiles) instead of directly from the customer.
And lastly, third-party data is data gathered from multiple sources that don’t have a direct relationship with the customer. Think: Clearbit, Zoominfo.
The biggest upside of zero-party data is customer consent.
Since it’s data voluntarily provided from customers, you don’t need to worry about breaking any data protection or privacy laws—provided there’s transparency to how you use the data, of course.
Another advantage of zero-party data is its near-perfect accuracy. But with people changing jobs around 12 times in their lifetime, there’s bound to be accuracy issues at some point.
And that’s worrying, because dirty data causes high bounce rates, spam traps, and deliverability issues. On average, U.S. respondents feel inaccurate and incomplete customer data wasted 27% of their revenue.

Here’s how it works:
It will score and include more information about the email addresses. In the example above, it details the format, whether it’s a free or business email address, etc.
Watch how these three B2B SaaS startups approach their zero-party data collection.
How it collects zero-party data: On-demand webinar
Digizuite is a digital asset management (DAM) suite that organizes marketing assets and distributes them to the channels of your choice.
Check out its webinar landing page above.
At first glance, nothing seems out of the ordinary.
But here’s where it gets interesting.
After requesting potential customers’ basic information in the opt-in form, Digizuite asks an open-ended question:
“What is the biggest challenge you face when managing digital assets?”
It’s an excellent way to gather input on your customers’ struggles in their own words.
Not only does the zero-party data inform the messaging on the product page, but it also helps the:
Key takeaway: Ask open-ended questions to gather in-depth customer input
How it collects zero-party data: Quizzes
Octane AI is a product quizzes platform for Shopify stores to increase conversions through personalized quizzes and conversational pop-ups.
The startup gathers zero-party data in two lead magnets:
Unlike the spreadsheet that only collects the prospect’s email address, the two-minute quiz goes further.
Once clicked, Octane AI prompts you to answer a series of questions, including the type of products sold, marketing and sales tools in your stack, the number of monthly orders, and the average order value.
Octane AI offers value upfront. After completing the quiz, users receive a personalized marketing strategy. Note how Octane AI customizes the tips based on users’ responses, positioning how its tool can help increase their store sales.
The secret to making this zero-party data strategy work?
Identify the irresistible value you’re offering and think about how you present it, according to Elliott Brown, an advisor and marketing consultant for early-stage startups.
“Will prospects hand over their information for a free quote?” asks Brown.
“Or will an expert assessment be more attractive? Will exclusive research be more appealing than a white paper? When you offer something more valuable, it increases the likelihood of your audience taking action.”
While you’re at it, include social sharing buttons on your quiz results landing page.
Bryan Philips, head of marketing at In Motion Marketing, shares with us, “Users who share their quiz results on social media provide your business with free exposure and more customer data.”
Key takeaway: Create a valuable lead magnet—one that solves your target audience's problem—to increase conversions
How it collects zero-party data: Onboarding
Causal is a modern business planning platform.
The startup, which operates on a freemium acquisition model, collects zero-party data during onboarding.
Note how it immediately asks new users about their job function, size of company, finance tools used, and goal of using the business planning platform.
Causal brings to mind Notion’s strategy, as previously shared in our product-led growth guide. Both companies collect essential information about the user and use it to create a personalized experience.
By gathering this information upfront, Causal segments users into the right groups and tailors the customer experience based on their unique functional role, ultimately increasing activation.
“When customers trust your brand enough to provide such meaningful data,” says Chris Gadek, VP of growth at AdQuick. “You don’t have to do a lot of guesswork to figure out what they want.”
Causal then sends relevant email newsletters to nurture these free users to paying customers.
Successful conversion largely boils down to pitching at the right time.
In this case, use a lead scoring tool like Breadcrumbs to identify sales-ready leads, kick-start your sales conversations, and accelerate revenue across all stages.
