- Data analytics and inferencing: Organizations looking to build insights on second-party data while ensuring data privacy can leverage ACCR. This is particularly useful when data providers are concerned about data exfiltration. ACCR ensures that data is only used for agreed purposes and safeguards against unauthorized access or egress (as it is a sandboxed environment).

- Data privacy ISVs: Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who provide secure multiparty data collaboration services can use ACCR as an extensible platform. It allows them to add enforceable tamperproof contracts with governance and audit capabilities, as well as uses confidential hardware underneath to ensure data is encrypted during processing so that their customers' data remains secure.

- Secure collaboration and governance:
43-
ACCR allows collaborators to create tamper-proof contracts that contain the constraints which are enforced by the clean room. Governance ensures validity of constraints before allowing data to be released into clean rooms and drives transparency amongst collaborators by generating tamper-proof audit trails. This is made possible with the help of the open-source confidential consortium framework used by Azure Confidential Clean Rooms.

ACCR allows collaborators to create tamper-proof contracts. ACCR also enforces all the constraints which are part of the contract. Governance ensures validity of constraints before allowing data to be released into clean rooms and drives transparency amongst collaborators by generating tamper-proof audit trails. ACCR uses the open-sourced [confidential consortium framework](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/managed-ccf/confidential-consortium-framework-overview) to enable these capabilities.
