Google Customer Match (Sep 2015)
Advertisers upload lists of emails and match them to signed-in Google users on Gmail, Search and YouTube.
Google will also be giving advertisers the ability to use that same data to find similar audiences — that is, signed-in users who may not be on your own lists but match profiles of those who are and are therefore more likely to be interested in your products.
