Upload

The preferred data upload method used by Trustfull is batch transfer over an S3 bucket.

Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service offering industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance.

All the buckets used to store customer data are fiscally separate and encryption is enabled both at rest and in transit.

Parameters

In order to proceed with an upload, your private bucket must first be created.

After you reach out to your account manager they will provide the following information:

• App key
• Key
• Secret
• Bucket Name
• Region

The above parameters are used to connect with the AWS S3 service.

The bucket can be created in any of the available AWS regions, you can look at the current regions here

Alternatively, if you prefer to access via browser, you will be also provided with:

• Username
• Password
• Link to the AWS web console

CSV File format

Each row of the .csv file must contain the data points required, in separate columns:

• customer_id: an internal string you use to identify each user/request/transaction. Please note that customer_id must be unique. Multiple rows with the same customer_id will be not processed.
• first_name: first name of the user
• last_name: last name of the user
• ip: the IP address of the user, no data center/server
• user_agent: User agent of the browser performing the request
• phone_number: The mobile phone number of the user. The expected format is international. With leading country-code and without zeros or '+' symbol (e.g. 393471122333)
• email: the email address of the user

An example:

customer_id,first_name,last_name,email,phone_number,ip,user_agent
