WHAT IS A DATA CLEAN ROOM? WHAT DCRS CAN (AND CAN’T) DO

Post

Data collaboration between multiple parties is revolutionary, offering almost
endless potential for businesses and societies to innovate and improve. Yet it
is also fundamental, increasingly a necessity for companies to unlock the
insights they need to serve their customers effectively and maximize revenue.
Collaboration often involves sensitive data, including personally identifiable
information (PII). As a result, perhaps the greatest challenge in data
collaboration is keeping that data secure and complying with regulations, such
as the well-known General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California
Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

The advertising industry currently faces specific challenges around data
collaboration. In particular, five state-level laws in California, Virginia,
Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah now impose new restrictions on the collection
and use of personal data. The deprecation of third party cookies is further
altering the advertising landscape, with Firefox Mozilla and Apple Safari having
already blocked third party cookies, and Google Chrome announcing plans to do so
by 2024. All these changes limit companies’ ability to collect, use, and share
data. 

Businesses have responded to this changing landscape by investing in
privacy-preserving technology. In this context, data clean rooms have emerged as
a prominent collaboration tool. A frequently cited projection from Gartner is
that 80% of advertisers with media budgets of $1 billion or more will be using
data clean rooms by 2023. In this blog, we examine data clean rooms and their
advantages and drawbacks.


WHAT IS A DATA CLEAN ROOM?

Data clean rooms are intended to be secure environments that allow multiple
parties to collaborate using proprietary data while complying with privacy
regulations. The goal is for parties to be able to use data clean rooms without
concern over the potential risks to data that may be considered sensitive, such
as PII, device IDs, and other geographic, behavioral, audience, or contextual
data. The data that is shared in the clean room is anonymized and analyzed. In
an advertising context, data clean rooms can replace third party cookies as a
way for advertisers to match their first party data with that of other companies
and come away with useful analytics. Because data clean rooms are designed to
protect privacy, all outputs are based on aggregated data.

For example, collaboration between the buyers and sellers of digital advertising
can uncover insights into audience and behavior, helping advertisers evaluate
and refine their campaigns.

The output from a data clean room can be compared to standing outside a house
party. You can hear the beat of the music and the rise and fall of
conversations. You can see that people are dancing in time to the music. But the
window you’re looking through is frosted, so you can’t make out individual
figures.


PRESERVING DATA PRIVACY IN DATA CLEAN ROOMS

Data has three basic states: at rest, in transit, and in use. Sensitive data
such as PII is most vulnerable while in use (being processed, analyzed, or
manipulated). This is the challenge data clean rooms aim to help address.

Data clean rooms generally offer a variety of privacy features to protect data,
including the following:

 * Differential Privacy: Differential privacy leverages mathematical frameworks
   for withholding information and restricting the ability to infer data about
   individuals when sharing aggregate information and patterns.
   

 * Pseudonymization: Pseudonymization is the process of removing identifiers
   from a data set and replacing them with a pseudonym. The main aim of this
   anonymization technique is to ensure that particular data can’t be matched to
   an identifiable person unless it is combined with a separate set of
   information. (See this post on Data Anonymization Techniques for more
   information.)
   

 * Noise Injection: This technique protects individual user privacy by adding
   “noise,” or irrelevant data, into a data stream. For example, when gathering
   product search history, an example would be to add random but plausible
   activity in the browser.  


TECHNOLOGIES COMBINED WITH DATA CLEAN ROOMS

Companies often use Data Clean Rooms in combination with other technologies for
managing customer data and ensuring privacy. Following are a few of the most
common examples.


CUSTOMER DATA PLATFORMS (CDPS)

According to an IAB-commissioned Ipsos report, 84% of data clean room users in
the digital advertising space are also using CDPs. A CDP is a marketing software
application that unifies a company’s customer data from all channels. CDPs can
guide the timing and targeting of messages and engagement activities of
customers, and support analysis of behavior at an individual level. Data clean
rooms can be used within CDPs to support, for example, advertising measurement.


IDENTITY RESOLUTION

Identity resolution (IDR) aims to link records across one or more datasets
(usually from multiple parties) that refer to the same individual. IDR providers
use match keys, such as an email, cookie, or IP address, to identify when two
records refer to the same individual or household.


CONFIDENTIAL COMPUTING

Though not strictly defined as privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) themselves,
data clean rooms are often used in conjunction with PETs or with other
privacy-preserving technologies. 

Confidential computing is a hardware-based technology designed to protect data
in use. While this approach to enhancing data security in the cloud is cutting
edge and still developing, confidential computing is viewed as having great
potential when paired with data clean rooms to protect data while it is being
processed or analyzed.


TYPES OF DATA CLEAN ROOMS 

Data clean rooms are not a homogenous offering. Following are a few basic
categorizations for data clean rooms.


WALLED GARDEN 

Walled gardens are perhaps the most familiar type of data clean room. Google,
Amazon, Facebook all provide hashed and aggregated data to companies that use
their advertising platforms in order to evaluate advertising performance. These
clean rooms are “walled” and do not provide a cross-platform view.

Another way of cross-sectioning data clean room offerings is by distinguishing
between self service and managed service. 


SELF-SERVICE 

Self-service clean rooms provide access to the technology platform only, and do
not offer support in collaborating with partners. This option is attractive for
companies that need more granular data about their audience and how that fits
with data-sharing partners, and have the resources to handle data partnerships
at scale and assume liability for data mishaps.


MANAGED SERVICE 

With a managed service offering, companies upload data and the clean room
provider manages all the data partnerships inside and outside their platform.
The considerations are the opposite of self service: The company is not
responsible for coordinating data sharing or legal liability, yet they generally
cannot access more granular data.

For instance, a managed service clean room might relay what percentage of the
data shared with a partner audience is aligned, which can help with media buying
decisions; but it won’t say which specific hashed emails did not align.


CONCLUSION

Data clean rooms are critical to the data analytics process of any industry. The
importance of a clean room cannot be understated, as it is the key to the data
analytics process. A clean room will often have staff working around the clock
ensuring that data is correct, secure, and private. From historical stock prices
to medical records, a clean room is essential for any businesses handling large
amounts of sensitive information.

We explored the different types of data clean rooms – and what they do and don’t
do for businesses. Stay tuned for the next post in our series, “Data Clean
Rooms: Advantages and Disadvantages.”

Accessibility StatementCompliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone
and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest
possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor
impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind
users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s
functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they
immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can
browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of
the most important screen-reader requirements:

 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s
    components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when
    updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
    meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
    accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
    search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
    element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. 
    
    Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It
    provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
    description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
    described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR
    (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader
    adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard
    combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn
    the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
    
    These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,
    NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
    
    
 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
    website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
    website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
    website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
    keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
    navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
    them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
    
    Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any
    time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating
    with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by
    moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing
    the focus to drift outside.
    
    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
    (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

   jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
 1. Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its
    family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
 2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as
    light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color
    schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring
    options.
 3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click
    of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs,
    and CSS flashing transitions.
 4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such
    as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered
    elements only.
 5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other
    issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the
    entire website instantly.
 6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and
    Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of
    phrases, initials, slang, and others.
 7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a
    printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so
our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as
possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major
systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA
(screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to
contact the website’s owner, please use the website's form
