Abstract
An approach is provided for preserving privacy for appointment scheduling. A scheduling platform receives a request to schedule an appointment among one or more users. The scheduling platform determines availability information for the one or more users from one or more respective devices, wherein the availability information is encrypted using homomorphic encryption. The scheduling platform then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the availability information using, at least in part, one or more homomorphic functions to determine one or more recommended time slots for the appointment.
