Could anyone in the know point to an open-source alternative platform (like R, py) on which these concepts may be applied?
not so keen to tie any datasets to Google anymore.

If you don't know many data concepts, then this course is probably worth taking. Then apply them to your datasets wherever they may be stored
If you're looking for a rich programming language with basic analysis function I would recommend Pandas. Not as diverse as R, but works pretty good. (Just watch out for that steep learning curve in the beginning).
