MARKETING SYSTEMS AND METHODS THAT PRESERVE CONSUMER PRIVACY

Real-time marketing systems and methods are provided for creating marketing profiles and for directing customized offers to consumers while preserving consumer privacy. The systems and methods permit marketers to communicate offers directly to consumers without marketer knowledge of consumer identity. The systems and methods abstract from consumer profile records and securely index the class records created thereby to individual consumers. Without knowledge of consumer identity, marketers can frame real-time offers according to a marketing profile describing elements of the class records and then direct those offers to individual consumers.
