Traditional centralized machine learning approaches pose significant risks of data breaches and non-compliance. Federated Learning (FL) offers a promising decentralized alternative by enabling collaborative model training without sharing raw data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study combines quantitative simulations and qualitative compliance analysis to evaluate FL frameworks under PIPL principles, with a focus on Differential Privacy as the primary empirically validated mechanism for noise addition and privacy guarantee. Other techniques, such as Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMC), are analyzed theoretically for their alignment with PIPL requirements like data minimization, anonymization, and encrypted transmission.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Experimental simulations demonstrate that FL effectively reduces data breach risks compared to centralized methods. It achieves principle-level compliance with PIPL through local data processing, differential privacy mechanisms, and secure aggregation, leading to improved privacy preservation while maintaining model performance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FL conceptually supports teacher data privacy protection under the PIPL framework. This study proposes a tailored compliance framework that integrates FL with privacy-enhancing technologies, offering theoretical foundations and practical recommendations for educational institutions and technology implementers to deploy privacy-preserving machine learning solutions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fdata.2026.1681382","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,9]],"date-time":"2026-02-09T05:27:07Z","timestamp":1770614827000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Federated learning for teacher data privacy protection: a study in the context of the PIPL"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Shanwei","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Education, Baoji University of Arts and Sciences","place":["Baoji, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiu Zhi","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academy of Fine Arts, Baoji University of Arts and Sciences","place":["Baoji, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xue Hui","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Education, Baoji University of Arts and Sciences","place":["Baoji, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhao Chen","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Education, Baoji University of Arts and Sciences","place":["Baoji, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Le Le","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Education, Baoji University of Arts and Sciences","place":["Baoji, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/2976749.2978318","article-title":"\u201cDeep learning with differential privacy,\u201d","author":"Abadi","year":"2016","journal-title":"Proceedings of the 2016 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"528","DOI":"10.51594\/csitrj.v5i3.859","article-title":"Data privacy laws and compliance: a comparative review of the EU GDPR and USA regulations","volume":"53","author":"Bakare","year":"2024","journal-title":"Comput.
