What is HarvestMyData?
HarvestMyData is a platform for marketers to collect and organise first-party customer data. In a landscape where third-party data sources are increasingly restricted, the tool addresses a practical need: building your own customer intelligence from direct interactions with your audience. Rather than providing pre-built data or complex systems, it focuses on making data collection accessible to marketing teams of any size.
The platform is built around the reality that effective marketing today requires knowing your audience directly. You create data collection points through forms, surveys, and website interactions where customers voluntarily share information. This data then lives in a central location where you can organise, segment, and use it across your marketing efforts. The approach respects privacy by design, which means less time spent worrying about compliance issues.
The freemium model allows you to start collecting data immediately without upfront costs. As your data needs grow and you want additional storage, integrations, or support, you can upgrade to a paid tier. This makes HarvestMyData accessible whether you're testing the concept or running a mature first-party data programme.
