Ask HN: Privacy Oriented Cohort Analysis?
To do cohort analysis or calculating churn (as a SaaS startup) one needs to collect some kind of id over time. There are clever ways to calculate daily (weekly) uniques by salting a hash with a daily (weekly) random salt.
How could we do cohort analysis with the least amount of information? The only thing to slightly increase privacy and make de-hashing more difficult is with a secret salt.
Is there some clever way with Bloom filters?
