On Tuesday, the short-selling agency Culper Research released a report stating that Zeta has formed a "two-way" contractual relationship with a third party, simultaneously acting as both a supplier and buyer of consumer data. According to the report, Zeta has built its own "consent farm" network (i.e., fraudulent websites collecting personal information by offering bribes like gift cards or fictitious job interviews) to gather millions of consumers' data under false pretenses.
Culper believes that these "consent farms" have driven almost all of Zeta's growth over the past two years, now accounting for 56% of its reported adjusted EBITDA. Culper is concerned that Zeta "may face devastating regulatory actions."
In response to the short-selling report released by Culper Research, Zeta strongly refuted the misleading and false accusations in the report yesterday. The company emphasized that its independent auditing firm is Deloitte, not Ernst & Young as incorrectly mentioned in the report, and confirmed confidence in its internal accounting processes and controls.
Zeta clarified that the revenue generated from clients who are both buyers and suppliers is negligible, and as of the third quarter of 2024, the combined revenue contribution from Apptness and ArcaMax is less than 3%. Additionally, the company denied operating a 'consent farm' and reaffirmed its commitment to data protection and privacy compliance.
