Mastercard is a global technology company whose role is anchored in trust. It supports 3.4 billion cards and over 143 billion transactions annually. To address customers’ increasing data volume and complex privacy needs, Mastercard has developed a novel service atop Databricks’ Clean Rooms and broader Data Intelligence Platform. This service combines several Databricks components with Mastercard’s IP, providing an evolved method for data-driven insights and value-added services while ensuring a unique standalone turnkey service. The result is a secure environment where multiple parties can collaborate on sensitive data without directly accessing each other’s information. After this session, attendees will understand how Mastercard used its expertise in privacy-enhancing technologies to create collaboration tools powered by Databricks’ Clean Rooms, AI/BI, Apps, Unity Catalog, Workflows and DatabricksIQ — as well as how to take advantage of this new privacy-enhancing service directly.
