Question
What is a data clean room?
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
A secure environment where two or more parties analyze combined data without seeing each other's raw records. Clean rooms are common in advertising measurement; AI training usually needs delivered datasets under a license instead.
Part of: How licensing works
Explanation#
Controls include aggregation thresholds and query limits.
They suit joint analysis more than model training.
Rights and privacy#
- Confirm customer, vendor and employee agreements allow the use
- Remove or de-identify personal details before anything leaves the company
- Approve the final dataset and permitted uses in writing
How licensing works#
A business describes its data, buyer demand is assessed, scope and permitted use are proposed, the data is prepared and de-identified, an agreement is signed, and the approved dataset is delivered. See data licensing for detail.
