Snowflake Data Clean Rooms

Clean room capability built into Snowflake's platform, keeping each party's raw data inside its own Snowflake account.

Visit Snowflake Data Clean Rooms Alternatives

Snowflake Data Clean Rooms is a capability built on top of Snowflake's existing Secure Data Sharing and secure-view infrastructure rather than a separate product: each collaborator's raw data stays inside its own Snowflake account, and templated, governed queries run against both accounts to return only approved, typically aggregated results. Because it runs natively inside the Snowflake platform, it suits organizations where both collaborators already store their data in Snowflake, avoiding the cross-cloud data movement other clean rooms are built to solve. There is no separate published price list; usage is billed through Snowflake's standard compute-credit model, so cost depends on the warehouse size and query volume used for a given collaboration rather than a flat clean-room fee. Row- and column-level policies, plus query templates that data owners approve in advance, provide the governance layer.

Terms to know

Data governance The policies, roles and processes that determine how data is defined, owned, accessed and kept compliant. First-party data Data a company collects directly from its own customers and properties, rather than acquiring it from outside sources. Role-based access control (RBAC) Granting data or system permissions based on a user's assigned role rather than configuring access for each person individually.
