Abstract
A method for combining disparate data sets using dynamic de-identifiers includes: receiving a first data set from a first external entity, the data set including first data entries including attribute values, and wherein the first data set does not include any personally identifiable information; receiving a second data set from a second external entity, the data set including second data entries including attribute values, and wherein the second data set does not include any personally identifiable information; identifying a dynamic de-identifier (DDID) for each first data entry and second data entry; matching each second data entry to a first data entry based on a correspondence between the associated attribute values; identifying insights for at least one first data entry based on at least the attribute values included in the corresponding matched second data entry; and transmitting at least the identified insights to the first external entity.
