Abstract

According to an embodiment, a data processing method comprises obtaining a first record associated with a first computer and a second record associated with a second computer that is different than the first computer; in response to determining that the first record has been obtained from a primary source, determining that at least a first set of key information in the first record matches a second set of key information in the second record, and in response thereto: creating and storing a master record comprising a union of the first record and the second record; storing, in a database, a third set of key information in the first record that does not match the second set, and a fourth set of key information in the second record that does not match the first set; using the master record to determine one or more electronic offers to present to any of a user, a computing device, or an account that is associated with the master record.
