Abstract
Systems and methods for anonymized behavior analysis are described. A requesting computer having access to personally identifiable information (PII) for a group of users may provide the PII to an intermediary computer having access to associated real identifiers. The intermediary computer may provide the associated real identifiers to a behavior analysis computer, which may calculate a behavior metric for each of the real identifiers, and calculate an aggregated behavior metric for the entire subset of real identifiers. The behavior analysis computer may send the aggregated behavior metric back to the requesting computer; thus, no individual behavior metrics are disclosed to the requesting computer. This process can be done without sharing the PII with the behavior analysis computer, or the real identifiers with the requesting computer, thereby protecting the privacy of the users.
