Zusammenfassung:Disclosed herein are systems and methods for protecting user privacy in networked data collection. One embodiment takes the form of a method that includes obtaining a user-data request that is associated with a requesting party. The method also includes preparing a first candidate response to the user-data request, where the first candidate response is based at least in part on data that is associated with a first user. The method also includes receiving additional candidate responses that are respectively based on data that is respectively associated with a plurality of additional users. The method also includes determining a privacy level of the first candidate response based at least in part on the received plurality of additional candidate responses. The method also includes determining that the privacy level exceeds a privacy threshold, and responsively sending, to the requesting party, a user-data response associated with the user-data request.
