Learn how effective data visualizations can transform differential privacy from academic concept to real-world implementation in this conference talk from PEPR '25. Discover the specific visualization strategies that Marc-Antoine Paré used during a three-year Department of Energy differential privacy project to secure $5 million in funding from grant administrators, demonstrate privacy protection effectiveness to regulators, and generate industry partner enthusiasm for adoption. Explore how these communication techniques helped overcome the limitations of traditional explanations like "differential privacy is like blurring an image" and enabled the project to achieve what previous academic efforts could not - culminating in two large-scale data releases with strong differential privacy guarantees (ε=4.72 and δ=5.06⋅10^−9). Gain practical insights and inspiration for bridging communication gaps in real-world privacy projects, moving beyond academic discussions to successful implementation and stakeholder buy-in.
