A proprietary algorithm is a sequence of steps or rules performed to achieve a specific goal, belonging to a commercial company as it has been trademarked or patented by its owner. An example is a search engine ranking algorithm for one of the commercial web search engines - some of the details may be readily available to the public but the source code is not freely available to protect company interests and prevent misuse.
