What is Quick Append?

Quick Append is a web portal that uses location and simple demographics as hooks to append Sociodemographic segments and a broad range of consumer insights data onto survey research and sanitised customer data files. It also returns easily read database profiling reports for immediate access to insights.

The "tagging hooks" required for Quick Append are simple because our underlying algorithm handles the complexity through advanced machine learning, synthetic population, and data fusion models.

How does Quick Append data security work?

Quick Append has been built on the principle of risk minimization and adheres to the highest standards of anonymity, privacy and cyber security.

Uploaded data is strictly limited to the absolute minimum required for data appending. No additional information is accepted on uploaded files.
Quick Append strips fine-grained location information from uploaded data at the earliest possible point in the process, so there is no PII on appended databases.
Uploaded and intermediate files are securely deleted at the earliest possible stage in the process. For database profiling reports, all data has been securely deleted by the time the report is available.
After 14 days, appended files are automatically deleted from the portal. Only a summary record of transactions is kept for audit purposes. Users can delete their appended databases at any time before the 14 days.
The process is fully parametric and based on Census, population updates, government microdata, anonymised market research surveys as well as geographic information from public and commercial sources.
Services on the geoTribes Quick Append Portal are conducted in compliance with the Australian privacy principles and the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (cth) , as amended.

Quick Append data is appended to uploaded data through a variety of fine-grained formats based on Location, Age and Gender, resulting in a much higher accuracy than regular geodemographic systems based solely on Location.

How can I use AI models (like ChatGPT) with Quick Append?

Quick Append Database Profiling Reports are a perfect input for AI models like ChatGPT to help improve existing workflows around understanding customers or respondents. By sharing the list of over-indexing variables from the report, and prompting the AI, users can build a set of personas or targeted communications which are easily shared with others. It is recommended to review and iterate with AI through further prompting to improve the result based on user judgement.
