Embodiments are directed to generating and training a distributed machine learning model using data received from a plurality of third parties using a distributed ledger system, such as a blockchain. As each third party submits data suitable for model training, the data submissions are recorded onto the distributed ledger. By traversing the ledger, the learning platform identifies what data has been submitted and by which parties, and trains a model using the submitted data. Each party is also able to remove their data from the learning platform, which is also reflected in the distributed ledger. The distributed ledger thus maintains a record of which parties submitted data, and which parties removed their data from the learning platform, allowing for different third parties to contribute data for model training, while retaining control over their submitted data by being able to remove their data from the learning platform.
