By the next working day you will be notified by email that your completed Data Audit is ready for download. The Data Audit will tell you how many records have been identified from each suppression file, and provide costs to suppress or flag your records.
Suppress Costs
If you elect to pay to suppress, your data will be sent back to you net of any records identified through your chosen suppression Services.
Flag Costs
If you pay to flag your records, the data will be returned intact with flags attached to each identified record along with reasons for suppression. You can then use this intelligence to clean future mailings of these records.
