AI analyses purchase history and engagement to create targeted rewards and recommendations, such as sending personalised coupons during local holidays or based on favourite products.

What privacy considerations exist?

Data privacy rules vary across Southeast Asia; brands must obtain consent and ensure data security while personalising offers.
