About the programme
Course Overview
Brands need to measure reach, overlap and campaign performance across multiple advertising platforms and retailers, but privacy rules and platform policy now prevent sharing raw customer-level data between parties. This course explains how a data clean room solves that problem: matching hashed or encrypted identifiers without exposing either party's underlying records, applying aggregation thresholds and differential privacy to protect individuals, and supporting core use cases such as cross-platform reach deduplication, audience overlap analysis and lookalike modelling. It also covers output restrictions and query auditing, how a clean room differs from a customer data platform, and the governance agreement that has to sit behind any cross-platform measurement collaboration. Teaching uses a use-case scoping exercise, a walkthrough of a sample clean room query and its restricted output, and a governance-agreement drafting task. Participants leave able to scope a clean room use case, judge whether a proposed analysis is sound, and negotiate terms with a platform or retail partner.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Distinguish a data clean room from a customer data platform by its multi-party access model and output restrictions.
Scope a cross-platform measurement use case, such as reach deduplication or overlap analysis, suited to a clean room.
Assess aggregation thresholds and differential privacy settings that determine how much detail a query can return.
Review clean room query outputs for disclosure risk before results are shared outside the collaboration.
Negotiate a governance agreement that defines permitted use cases, data retention and audit rights between parties.
Compare clean room deployment models against a specific cross-platform measurement requirement.

01How Data Clean Rooms Work
2 sessions · 8 points
Session 1The Privacy Problem Clean Rooms Solve
- Explain why platform policy and privacy regulation prevent brands and platforms from sharing raw customer-level data.
- Describe how a clean room allows two parties to analyse combined data without either seeing the other's raw records.
- Identify the role of hashed or encrypted identifiers in matching records without revealing personal information.
- Distinguish a clean room collaboration from a standard data-sharing agreement or file transfer.
Session 2Aggregation Thresholds and Differential Privacy
- Explain how minimum aggregation thresholds prevent query results from identifying a small or single individual.
- Describe how differential privacy adds statistical noise to outputs to further protect individual-level data.
- Assess how threshold and noise settings trade off analytical precision against privacy protection.
- Identify query patterns, such as repeated narrow queries, that could be used to try to re-identify individuals.
02Core Cross-Platform Measurement Use Cases
2 sessions · 8 points
Session 1Reach, Frequency and Overlap Analysis
- Design a reach deduplication query that measures unique audience reached across two or more platforms.
- Analyse audience overlap between platforms to identify wasted frequency or under-reached segments.
- Interpret overlap results to reallocate budget towards platforms reaching genuinely incremental audiences.
- Distinguish overlap caused by shared audience interest from overlap caused by identical targeting criteria.
Session 2Lookalike Modelling and Attribution Use Cases
- Scope a lookalike modelling use case that builds audiences from matched first-party and platform data.
- Design a matched-market or matched-cohort attribution query that links exposure data to conversion outcomes.
- Assess data recency and match-rate requirements needed for a use case to produce reliable results.
- Prioritise use cases by measurement value against the effort of implementing each specific query.
03Query Governance and Output Control
2 sessions · 8 points
Session 1Reviewing Query Outputs for Disclosure Risk
- Review a clean room query's output fields to confirm no combination of fields could re-identify an individual.
- Set approval workflows that require review of new query types before they can run against shared data.
- Restrict raw data export from a clean room so only aggregated, approved outputs leave the environment.
- Audit query logs periodically to confirm usage matches the agreed permitted use cases.
Session 2Access Controls and Technical Safeguards
- Set role-based access controls that limit which individuals on each side can submit or view query results.
- Confirm encryption and hashing methods used for identifier matching meet both parties' security requirements.
- Establish incident response procedures for a suspected data misuse or attempted re-identification event.
- Test a clean room environment with sample data before connecting production customer data.
04Governance Agreements and Provider Selection
2 sessions · 8 points
Session 1Negotiating the Governance Agreement
- Define permitted use cases explicitly in a governance agreement to prevent scope creep after implementation.
- Set data retention and deletion terms for both matched identifiers and query outputs within the agreement.
- Assign audit rights that allow either party to verify the other's compliance with agreed data use terms.
- Clarify liability and termination terms for what happens to matched data if the collaboration ends.
Session 2Choosing a Clean Room Approach
- Compare clean room deployment models, including platform-native, retailer-hosted and independent third-party options.
- Assess integration effort against existing data warehouse and identity infrastructure for each deployment model.
- Evaluate providers on supported use cases, query flexibility and privacy certification relevant to the intended collaboration.
- Plan a pilot use case with a single partner before extending clean room collaboration across multiple platforms.
