How it works

Collaboration without handing anything over

A data clean room is neutral territory: both sides bring data, the room computes the answers, and nobody ever sees the other side’s records. Here is the whole idea in three steps.

1

Everyone keeps their data

You and your partner each load data into the clean room in protected form, from a file upload, a scheduled database pull, or a stream. It stays encrypted under your own key, and nobody hands anyone a customer list.

2

The clean room finds the overlap

Matching happens inside neutral territory, on protected identifiers, so the platform can tell you how many customers you share and what they do, while neither side can see the other’s records.

3

Only answers come out

Every result is an aggregate: an overlap count, a lift number, an audience segment. Each one passes automatic privacy checks before anyone sees it, so no individual can ever be singled out.

The guarantees behind it

  • Data is protected end to end: at rest, in transit, and during matching
  • No party can ever see another party’s raw records
  • Results are aggregate-only, with automatic small-group suppression
  • Every action lands in a tamper-evident audit trail

And neither side owns the room

Placino operates it as neutral ground: a per-tenant isolated environment, with each tenant’s data encrypted under its own key. Neither party hosts the other’s data.
