An article of manufacture comprising a processor-readable storage medium having embodied therein executable program code that when executed by the processing device causes the processing device to perform:

• obtain a set of raw data relating to activity of one or more users in accordance with a communication network, wherein the communication network is managed by a network operator;
• process the obtained set of raw data in accordance with at least one data isolation policy maintained by the network operator to generate a first set of data comprising at least a portion of the set of raw data with sensitive data associated with the one or more users removed;
• a second set of data comprising the sensitive data removed from the set of raw data;
• and a third set of data comprising a mapping between portions of the set of raw data and the first set of data;
• expose the first set of data to a third party;
• and
• isolate the second set of data and the third set of data from the third party.

• a memory;
• and
• a processor operatively coupled to the memory to form a data sharing platform, the data sharing platform being configured to:
• obtain a set of raw data relating to activity of one or more users in accordance with a communication network, wherein the communication network is managed by a network operator;
• process the obtained set of raw data in accordance with at least one data isolation policy maintained by the network operator to generate a first set of data comprising at least a portion of the set of raw data with sensitive data associated with the one or more users removed;
• a second set of data comprising the sensitive data removed from the set of raw data;
• and a third set of data comprising a mapping between portions of the set of raw data and the first set of data;
• expose the first set of data to a third party;
• and
• isolate the second set of data and the third set of data from the third party.
