Privacy Preserving Count Statistics

pre-print
The ability to preserve user privacy and anonymity is important. One of the safest ways to maintain privacy is to avoid storing personally identifiable information (PII), which poses a challenge for maintaining useful user statistics. Probabilistic counting has been used to find the cardinality of a multiset when precise counting is too resource intensive. In this paper, probabilistic counting is used as an anonymization technique that provides a reliable estimate of the number of unique users.
