Abstract:
Systems, data access management utilities, and methods generate links between local merchants and community programs, whereby the merchant may provide incentives to customers in relation to community programs. The implementations may track community programs, as well as online and offline customer transactions with merchants that make use of the incentive. Implementations may include as participants, customers, merchants, community organizations, intermediaries, and other groups or individuals. Participants may have participant identifiers, which may be linked to a payment source. Data may be collected about all participants, either expressly, or from offline or online transactions between merchants and customers utilizing a participant identifier, and the data may be stored in a data storage area. All data in the data storage area may be utilized by a logic tool, which may provide information, such as details of customers that view a broadcast of content that is interleaved with a merchant's advertisement and analytic reporting. Matches between transactions with a merchant and a customer that view a broadcast of content that is interleaved with the merchant's advertisement may be identified by the system, and a level of certainty that the match is accurate may be determined.
