In this article, we study the problem of non-adaptive group testing, in which one seeks to identify which items are defective given a set of suitably-designed tests whose outcomes indicate whether or not at least one defective item was included in the test. The most widespread recovery criterion seeks to exactly recover the entire defective set, and relaxed criteria such as approximate recovery and list decoding have also been considered.

We develop data processing inequalities that describe how Fisher information from statistical samples can scale with the privacy parameter $\varepsilon $ under local differential privacy constraints. These bounds are valid under general conditions on the distribution of the score of the statistical model, and they elucidate under which conditions the dependence on $\varepsilon $ is linear, quadratic, or exponential.
