Federated Analytics

Privacy & Data Governance

A privacy-preserving approach to data analysis where computations are performed locally on distributed data, such as on individual devices, and only aggregated results are shared centrally, rather than the raw data itself. Federated analytics extends the principles of federated learning beyond model training to general data analysis, enabling insights to be drawn from sensitive data without centralizing it.
