## Understanding Data Collection

Airflux collects data through three primary methods to make the most optimal ad display decisions.

{% hint style="success" %}
Each type of data is collected at a different **time** and for a different **purpose**, so you must provide **all three** to maximize the performance of the AI model.
{% endhint %}

1. In-game event data

   Records user actions such as `ORDER_COMPLETED` and `ACHIEVE_LEVEL`.
2. Player Attribute Data

   Records the player's current status, such as their `level` or `currency` balance.
3. Inference Parameters

   Records contextual information at the time of an ad request, such as `adType` or `adPlacementId`.
