  • Event-level data privacy for streaming post analytics data
    Patent number: 11968236
    Abstract: Technologies for providing event-level data privacy for streaming post analytics data include, in some embodiments, receiving a data stream that includes instances of count data collected over a time interval, computing a true count breakdown that includes a set of sub-counts of non-public user interface interactions on the post, creating a noisy count breakdown by applying at least one differential privacy mechanism to the set of sub-counts, and streaming the noisy count breakdown instead of the true count breakdown to a computing device. At least one of the sub-counts is a count that is associated with a particular value of an attribute that has different possible values. The attribute is associated with the non-public user interface interactions on the post.
