Hi,
Our team is interested in tracking individual lead website activity in Adobe Analytics, and are thinking about leveraging UTMs to connect a leads Salesforce ID to their web activity in a report.
(this was just a test to see that the data came through).
Has anyone ever done something similar in their instance? Are there any legal/compliance issues this might cause? Would it be enough to add a line in our privacy policy stating we will generate and use a Salesforce ID for new leads?
Solved! Go to Solution.
There are possible security/compliance considerations but the major issue is a technical one.
Associating activities with an unique activity id/person id is probably normal and happens all the time. Associating web activities to it may not affect you per se. However, the way you’re doing it may need to be checked to ensure it’s not out of compliance, for which you should probably check with your legal team as to - is it okay to use the SFDC ID in email URL or not. Different companies may have different levels of compliance, but I can see this could probably be an issue to relatively more conservative companies.
