Provenance
The recorded origin of a piece of contact data: which source and engine it came from and when.
Definition
Provenance is the documented lineage of a data point: where it was collected, by what method or engine, and when. For contact data, provenance lets you judge reliability, respond to deletion requests, and trace a record back to its origin. Trackyr attaches provenance (the source and engine) to every contact from the first scrape, so each record can be traced and audited.
