Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. ("LiveRamp", "we", "us" or the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods included have been made, and the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain note information has been omitted because it has not changed significantly from that reflected in Notes 1 through 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements filed as part of Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (“2021 Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC on May 27, 2021. This quarterly report and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the 2021 Annual Report. The financial information contained in this quarterly report is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other period or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain of the accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are complex and require management to make judgments and/or significant estimates regarding amounts reported or disclosed in these financial statements. Additionally, the application of certain of these accounting policies is governed by complex accounting principles and their interpretation. A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting principles and their application is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report. Due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19" or "COVID-19 pandemic"), there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. We are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to our estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2021. While there was not a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2021, these estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, as well as other factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic that could result in material impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. Accounting pronouncements adopted during the current year Standard Description Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12") ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. April 1, 2021 The effect of prospectively adopting ASU 2019-12 on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures was not material. Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted Standard Description Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters There are no material accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company not yet adopted

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS:	ACQUISITIONS: Diablo On April 21, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Diablo.AI, Inc. ("Diablo"), a first-party data resolution platform and graph builder, for approximately $9.7 million in cash (including holdback of $1.2 million included in other accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet). The acquisition also includes $1.9 million of assumed restricted stock awards that will be recorded as non-cash stock compensation over a period of three years (see Note 6). Diablo's technology will be embedded into our unified platform and will play an integral role in our global identity relaunch. The Company has omitted pro forma disclosures related to this acquisition as the pro forma effect of this acquisition is not material. The results of operations for this acquisition are included in the Company's condensed consolidated results beginning April 21, 2021. The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition (dollars in thousands): April 21, 2021 Assets acquired: Cash $ 131 Goodwill 7,012 Intangible assets 3,500 Total assets acquired 10,643 Deferred income taxes (710) Accounts payable and accrued expenses (65) Net assets acquired 9,868 Less: Cash acquired (131) Net purchase price allocated 9,737 Less: Cash held back (1,200) Net cash paid in acquisition 8,537 The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is primarily attributed to the development of future technology and products. The fair values currently assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on the information that was available as of the date of the acquisition. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practical.

The conversion calculation resulted in issuance of 40,600 replacement restricted stock shares having an acquisition-date fair value of $1.9 million. The restricted shares vest subject to post-combination service requirements. As a result, the acquisition-date fair value is considered future compensation cost and will be recognized as stock-based compensation cost over the approximate three-year vesting period of the awards. Changes in the Company's restricted stock for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was: Weighted-average fair value per Weighted-average Number share at grant remaining contractual of shares date term (in years) Unvested restricted stock awards at March 31, 2021 — $ — Diablo replacement restricted stock award 40,600 $ 47.29 Unvested restricted stock awards at June 30, 2021 40,600 $ 47.29 2.92 Restricted Stock Unit Activity Time-vesting restricted stock units ("RSUs") - During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted time-vesting RSUs covering 1,675,062 shares of common stock and having a fair value at the date of grant of $78.7 million. The RSUs granted in the current year primarily vest over four years. Grant date fair value of these units is equal to the quoted market price for the shares on the date of grant. Included in the RSUs granted in the current fiscal year were units related to the Diablo acquisition. Following the closing of the Diablo acquisition, the Company granted new awards of RSUs, covering 98,442 shares of common stock having a grant date fair value of $4.7 million, to select employees to induce them to accept employment with the Company. RSU activity for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was: Weighted-average fair value per Weighted-average Number share at grant remaining contractual of shares date term (in years) Outstanding at March 31, 2021 2,692,243 $ 45.96 2.76 Granted 1,675,062 $ 47.01 Vested (101,285) $ 39.27 Forfeited or canceled (208,218) $ 46.71 Outstanding at June 30, 2021 4,057,802 $ 46.52 3.08 The total fair value of RSUs vested during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $4.8 million and is measured as the quoted market price of the Company's common stock on the vesting date for the number of shares vested. Performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") - Fiscal 2022 plans: During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted PSUs covering 191,393 shares of common stock having a fair value at the date of grant of $9.7 million. The grants were made under two separate performance plans. Under the total shareholder return ("TSR") performance plan, units covering 57,415 shares of common stock were granted having a fair value at the date of grant of $3.4 million, determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The units vest subject to attainment of market conditions established by the compensation committee of the board of directors (“compensation committee”) and continuous employment through the vesting date. The units may vest in a number of shares from 0% to 200% of the award, based on the TSR of LiveRamp common stock compared to the TSR of the Russell 2000 market index for the period from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024. Under the operating metrics performance plan, units covering 133,978 shares of common stock were granted having a fair value at the date of grant of $6.3 million, which was equal to the quoted market price for the shares on the date of grant. The units vest subject to attainment of performance criteria established by the compensation committee and continuous employment through the vesting date. The units may vest in a number of shares from 0% to 200% of the award, based on the attainment of trailing twelve-month revenue growth and EBITDA margin targets for the period from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024. Performance will be measured and vesting evaluated on a quarterly basis beginning with the period ending June 30, 2022 and continuing through the end of the performance period. To the extent that shares are earned in a given quarter, 50% vest immediately and 50% vest on the one-year anniversary of attainment approval, except that all earned but unvested shares will vest fully at the end of the measurement period. Fiscal 2021 plans: The initial measurement date for the fiscal 2021 operating metrics performance plan was June 30, 2021. The June 30, 2021 performance measurement resulted in a 25% achievement, or 38,967 total earned units, subject to compensation committee approval. Of the earned amount, one-half will vest immediately, while the remaining one-half will vest one year later. As of June 30, 2021, there remains a maximum potential of 272,771 additional units eligible for attainment under the plan. Quarterly measurements of attainment will continue through March 31, 2023. Fiscal 2020 plans : Units under the Company's fiscal 2020 TSR PSU plan covering 60,844 shares of common stock will reach maturity of their relevant performance period at March 31, 2022. The units may vest in a number of shares from 0% to 200% of the award, based on the total shareholder return of LiveRamp common stock compared to total shareholder return of the Russell 2000 market index for the period from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2022. Units under the Company's fiscal 2020 compound revenue growth PSU plan will reach maturity of their relevant performance period at March 31, 2022. 82,494 units may vest in a number of shares from 0% to 200% of the award, based on attainment of the Company's three-year revenue compound annual growth rate target for the period from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2022. Fiscal 2019 plans : Through June 30, 2021, the compensation committee has previously approved quarterly performance measurements totaling 57% attainment under this plan. Net of forfeitures, this results in a total of 158,939 units earned. Performance measurement through June 30, 2021 indicates an additional 10% performance attainment which, if approved by the compensation committee during the quarter ending September 30, 2021, will bring the total units earned under the plan, net of forfeitures, to 181,582 units. As of June 30, 2021, there remains a maximum potential of 314,211 additional units eligible for attainment under the plan. Quarterly measurements of attainment will continue through September 30, 2022. PSU activity for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was: Weighted-average fair value per Weighted-average Number share at grant remaining contractual of shares date term (in years) Outstanding at March 31, 2021 631,869 $ 49.74 1.54 Granted 191,393 $ 50.70 Vested (21,788) $ 55.48 Forfeited or canceled (79,680) $ 47.33 Outstanding at June 30, 2021 721,794 $ 50.08 1.69 The total fair value of PSUs vested in the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $1.0 million and is measured as the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date for the number of shares vested.

Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") During the three months ended June 30, 2021, 56,839 shares of common stock were purchased under the ESPP at a weighted-average price of $42.70 per share, resulting in cash proceeds of $2.4 million over the relevant offering period. Stock-based compensation expense associated with the ESPP was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, there was approximately $0.7 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the current offering period.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES:	ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES: Trade accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for credit losses, returns and credits based on the probability of future collections. The probability of future collections is based on specific considerations of historical loss patterns and an assessment of the continuation of such patterns based on past collection trends and known or anticipated future economic events that may impair collectability. Accounts receivable that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include past due status greater than 360 days or bankruptcy of the debtor. We are monitoring the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers and various counterparties, and have considered these risks in establishing our reserve balance as of June 30, 2021.

The liability will be satisfied over the remainder of the leased property's term, which continues through November 2025. Any future changes in the estimates or in the actual sublease income may require future adjustments to the liabilities, which would impact net earnings (loss) in the period the adjustment is recorded.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Legal Matters The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management routinely assesses the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as ranges of probable losses, to the extent losses are reasonably estimable. The Company records accruals for these matters to the extent that management concludes a loss is probable and the financial impact, should an adverse outcome occur, is reasonably estimable. These accruals are adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertinent to a particular matter. These accruals are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In management’s opinion, the Company has made appropriate and adequate accruals for these matters, and management believes the probability of a material loss beyond the amounts accrued to be remote. However, the ultimate liability for these matters is uncertain, and if accruals are not adequate, an adverse outcome could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company maintains insurance coverage above certain limits. Commitments The following table presents the Company’s purchase commitments at June 30, 2021. Purchase commitments primarily include contractual commitments for the purchase of data, hosting services and software-as-a-service arrangements. The table does not include the future payment of liabilities related to uncertain tax positions of $23.7 million as the Company is not able to predict the periods in which the payments will be made (dollars in thousands): For the years ending March 31, 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Thereafter Total Purchase commitments $ 48,975 $ 52,061 $ 45,863 $ 44,248 $ 33,150 $ — $ 224,297

INCOME TAX_

INCOME TAX:	3 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAX:	INCOME TAX:In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company applies its estimated annual effective income tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary income or loss and adjusts for discrete tax items in the period. The estimated annual effective income tax rate for the current fiscal year is primarily driven by nondeductible stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance, and the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (known as "BEAT" tax). Realization of the Company's net deferred tax assets is dependent upon its generation of sufficient taxable income of the proper character in future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain benefit from the reversal of temporary differences as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. As of June 30, 2021, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets except in certain foreign jurisdictions.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUM

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:	3 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2021
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value. Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows: • Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities. For certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable, certificates of deposit, and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these balances. The following table details the fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands): June 30, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Other current assets: Assets of non-qualified retirement plan $ 17,035 $ — $ — $ 17,035 Total $ 17,035 $ — $ — $ 17,035 March 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Other current assets: Assets of non-qualified retirement plan $ 15,838 $ — $ — $ 15,838 Total $ 15,838 $ — $ — $ 15,838 Strategic investments consist of non-controlling equity investments in privately held companies. The Company elected the measurement alternative for these investments without readily determinable fair values and for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. These investments are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under the cost method of accounting, the non-marketable equity securities are carried at cost less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, which is recorded within the statement of operations. The Company held $5.7 million of strategic investments without readily determinable fair values at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively (see Note 7). These investments are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
