Data customers intentionally share, such as preferences and survey answers.

Short answer
Zero-party data is information customers intentionally and proactively share with a brand, such as preferences, purchase intentions and survey or quiz answers. Because it is volunteered directly, it is generally accurate and consented, making it valuable for personalization as third-party data becomes harder to obtain and use.
