Techniques of performing queries involve adapting a query to whether query data is encrypted. Along these lines, a data sensitivity policy defines which types of data is encrypted prior to storage in a data analytics database and which other types of data remain unencrypted. When a client formulates a query, the client encrypts a query input and then conceals the encrypted query input and query function to form concealed query logic. When the concealed query logic is received by a data analytics server, the data analytics server determines whether the query data to be input into the concealed query logic is encrypted or unencrypted. If the query data is unencrypted, then the concealed query logic is unconcealed and the query input unencrypted so that the data analytics server may evaluate the query function without concealment to produce a query result.
