Notes on transmitting plaintext data to the Match endpoint
- The Match endpoint uses the match cascade.
- The match process may include associative data and location data to improve matching.
- Names, street addresses, and phone numbers can either be sent parsed (broken down into their individual components) or unparsed, but not both in the same call.
