Private blockchain
A private blockchain is a type of blockchain that is controlled by a single organization or entity, rather than being publicly accessible and decentralized like a public blockchain. Also the access to the network is restricted to a specific group of users who have been given permission to participate in the network.
Private blockchains are often used by companies or organizations that want to use blockchain technology for their internal processes, but do not want to make their data or operations publicly available.
