Data Collector Defined

Data Collection is the process of collecting computer or mobile device-related information from the consumer.

An image, referred to as the “data collector image,” is loaded onto the customer's checkout page, and when this image ‘reloads’ upon being opened in an end customer's web browser, attributes of the physical device are captured and sent to the Agent Web Console (AWC) to be used in Kount's risk evaluation.
