Abstract

The sharing of data for the purposes of data analysis and research can have many benefits. At the same time, concerns and controversies about data ownership and data privacy elicit significant debate. So how do we utilize data in a way that protects individual privacy but still ensures that the data are of sufficient granularity that the analytics will be useful and meaningful? Data anonymization (also called de-identification, depending on the jurisdiction) is the process of removing detail in the data or adding other controls to reduce re-identification risk. Good anonymization should mitigate exposure and allow you to easily demonstrate that you have taken your responsibility toward data subjects seriously.
