"Further Info: third Party and devIce Based data

You should consider using third party or device based data to enhance the functionality of your app. Third party data means any open data that is freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish. This could be anything from weather (historic weather or predicted weather forecasts), to energy saving data from the Energy Saving Trust (www.energysavingtrust.org.uk). You could even link with an API (Application Programming Interface), for example to something like Phillips Hue (wireless lighting). http://www.meethue.com/en-CA

Device based data could be information that the user is expected to enter, or their location. By using third party or device based data, you might be able to enhance npower’s own data and improve app functionality or customer understanding.

Governments are a great example of institutions that gather huge amounts of data that’s freely available to re-purpose. Visit http://data.gov.uk for an example of the breadth of information that is available. You’ll also find examples of top apps that have been built to interpret this data in a user friendly way at http://data.gov.uk/apps

You must make sure that any data you use is freely available, and not protected by intellectual property rights."

Brief

Third party Data sources

" Third-party data is gathered by an entity that does not have a relationship with the people whose data they collect. Third-party data providers gather information from various online and offline sources. They also use cookies to anonymously track users across the web and build individual profiles based on their activity. This is possible through relationships with different websites, who drop the provider’s cookie on their own site, allowing the provider to collect data about their visitors.

Providers attempt to match the same user across all the sites in their network to make their user profiles as comprehensive as possible. They then create segments of similar profiles (e.g. frequent travelers, sports enthusiasts, auto-intenders), which are packaged up and sold to advertisers for ad targeting."
