 ## What is Data Sharing?
 
 Snowflake's [Secure Data Sharing](https://docs.snowflake.net/manuals/user-guide/data-sharing-intro.html) functionality allows Braze to give you secure access to data on our Snowflake portal without worrying about workflow friction or slowdown, failure points, and unnecessary costs that come with typical data provider relationships.

+### Snowflake Reader Accounts
+
+Snowflake Reader Accounts offer users access to the same data and functionality as [Snowflake Data Sharing]({{site.baseurl}}/partners/snowflake/), all without requiring a Snowflake account or customer relationship with Snowflake. With Reader Accounts, Braze will create and share your data into an account and provide you credentials to log in and access your data. This will result in all data sharing and usage billing being handled entirely by Braze.

 ## Step 4: Use a BI tool to manipulate your data
 
 Finally, we use a BI tool to analyze our data, turn it into charts and other visual tools, and more using [Looker and Looker Blocks](https://looker.com/platform/blocks/directory?utm_campaign=7012R000000fxfC&utm_source=other&utm_medium=email&utm_content=brazedirectreferral&utm_term=braze_direct#braze) so we don't have to ETL/ELT data every time it moves from Currents.
