LeapYear Technologies

LeapYear Technologies built an enterprise platform for differentially private analytics and machine learning, letting organizations compute over highly sensitive data and share it across internal silos and external partners with mathematically proven privacy guarantees. LeapYear Core was licensed, self-hosted software rather than a public multi-tenant API: customers ran their own server and reached it through a first-party Python client, with every computation drawing down a quantified privacy exposure budget enforced by the server. Snowflake announced its intent to acquire LeapYear on 2023-02-07 and closed on 2023-02-10 for USD 62.0 million in cash, primarily for talent and developed technology, folding the differential privacy capability into its Global Data Clean Room offering. The company no longer operates independently, leapyear.io is now a Snowflake-controlled redirect, and the only surviving first-party documentation is the Python client API reference on its readthedocs host.

LeapYear Technologies is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Ai Infrastructure, Differential Privacy, Data Privacy, and Machine Learning.

LeapYear Technologies’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, and 9 more developer resources.
