_Enabling integration of purchase data from approximately 28 million 7-Eleven App
members on the DSP_

TOKYO, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Trade Desk (Nasdaq: TTD), a global leader
in advertising technology, today announced the integration of retail purchase data
from SEVEN-ELEVEN JAPAN CO., LTD. (hereinafter "SEJ") into The Trade Desk platform,
enabling advertisers to programmatically activate SEJ’s retail purchase data across
digital channels through The Trade Desk platform. The capability is now available
to all advertisers in Japan. This represents one of the leading examples in Japan
of integrating SEJ’s purchase data with a DSP.

This integration enables advertisers to activate high-quality data at scale across
digital channels on the open internet, including over‑the‑top (OTT), connected TV(
CTV), audio, and display, representing an important step forward in Japan’s retail
media landscape.

Through this initiative, advertisers can seamlessly access and activate audience
segments built from purchase data-driven insight based on the purchase behavior 
of approximately 28 million _7-Eleven App_ members directly within The Trade Desk
platform. SEJ operates Japan’s largest convenience store network, with around 22,000
stores nationwide and approximately 20 million daily visitors.^([1]) The integration
enables activation of always-on audience segments — including demographic and high-
demand purchase-based audiences — built from a wide range of product categories.
Audience segments are curated based on advertiser needs using up to one year of 
purchase history (ID-POS data), enabling more precise audience targeting across 
omnichannel campaigns.

This collaboration addresses a longstanding challenge in Japan, where access to 
high-quality retail data has historically been fragmented and operationally complex.
Through API integration with the platform, SEJ’s data is regularly refreshed and
made available within The Trade Desk platform, enabling advertisers to plan, activate,
and optimize campaigns with greater efficiency and reduced operational complexity.

At the core of this integration is The Trade Desk’s AI-driven platform, which transforms
retail purchase signals into structured, scalable audience intelligence — bridging
the gap between data access and real-time activation across channels. This enables
advertisers to not only identify the right audiences, but to continuously refine
and optimize how those audiences are reached, driving performance across the open
internet.

"Japan’s retail media ecosystem is entering a new phase," said Kei Majima, General
Manager, Japan, The Trade Desk. "We are excited to bring this initiative to market,
expanding access to one of Japan’s most extensive retail data offerings for omnichannel
advertising. As the industry evolves, the ability to programmatically activate high-
quality data will be critical to driving performance and accountability in digital
advertising. By integrating high-quality purchase data from SEJ, one of Japan’s 
largest convenience store chains, directly into our platform, advertisers can now
engage audiences more precisely and efficiently across channels, helping to unlock
the full potential of retail data for advertisers in Japan."

**Key Benefits for Advertisers**

 ◦ High-Fidelity Audience Segments: Access audience segments built on a wide range
   of product categories and up to one year of purchase history, enabling more precise
   demographic and purchase-based targeting.
 ◦ Custom Audience Capabilities: Collaborate with SEJ to build and activate audience
   segments tailored to specific brands for more precise targeting.
 ◦ Omnichannel Activation: Apply retail data across digital channels via The Trade
   Desk platform for flexible, scalable campaigns.
 ◦ AI-Powered Audience Activation & Optimization: Transform retail purchase data
   into scalable audiences that can be activated across channels and continuously
   refined using AI to improve campaign performance over time.

**Advancing Retail Media Infrastructure in JapanThis initiative reflects a broader
evolution in Japan’s retail data landscape—from fragmented, one-off data use to 
always-on, infrastructure-driven approaches that enable scalable and continuous 
audience engagement. Historically, retail data activation relied on custom integrations
that limited continuous campaign execution. With this integration, SEJ’s data can
now be continuously refreshed and activated in real time, enabling advertisers to
improve audience targeting accuracy and advertising performance in a privacy conscious
manner.

As global retail data evolves toward greater standardization, enabling secure, scalable
data use has become a key industry priority. This data integration signals a growing
focus in Japan on not only protecting data but also enabling its responsible and
effective utilization. Through this initiative, The Trade Desk and SEJ provide a
practical model for how high-quality retail data can be applied at scale, demonstrating
how infrastructure and privacy-conscious design can support more effective retail
data activation at scale.
