Profile-DP: Differential Privacy for User-Controlled Profile Release in Personalized LLM Inference

We introduce Profile-DP, a policy-aware local differential privacy framework designed specifically for user-profile release in personalized LLM inference.

Key points

  • Personalized large language models (LLMs) increasingly rely on profile-conditioned inference, pairing public requests with rich, user-specific facts.
  • Profile-DP provably bounds the release of user-withheld facts while treating public instructions, profile schemas, and authorized facts as public side information.
  • By generating a privatized profile that composes with the public instruction prior to answer generation, our framework decouples formal privacy guarantees from downstream model behavior.
  • We develop two finite-domain mechanisms satisfying Profile-DP: DP-SLOT independently perturbs protected attributes, while DP-BLOCK uses public semantic decisions to coordinate their release and jointly sample related attributes.
