- MDM Data Store: The customer Data RecordRecords are stored in YOUnite's data store and can be retrieved, in whole or in part, by the delivery service company's system applications that have appropriate access.
- Federated MDM: If the customer domain is federated, then the customer Data Record is NOT stored in YOUnite's data store but is created in real-time by referencing customer domain properties as they reside inside the various systems (i.e. the customer name, address, and phone number properties as stored in the Customer Service, Accounting, and CRM systems).

Data records are the latest, most recent version of a record. They are stored in many systems connected to YOUnite, including the YOUnite data store. Master data is a process performed by the organization's data governance to establish which of these systems will be considered to contain the "record of truth" for a given data domain. It's not always necessary or appropriate for systems to access the organization's master data, as many data access requests are for data records that may or may not contain master data. However, one feature of YOUnite is the ability to propagate changes from a system that contains data records to others in the YOUnite eco-system on a permission-appropriate basis (i.e. scopegovernance).
