This tag is for questions related to protecting privacy or confidentiality in the collection, use, and presentation of data, such as with anonymization or aggregation. Examples include:
- aggregating medical patient data when mapping to protect individuals' privacy
- obfuscating the exact locations of crimes committed to protect victims
- presentation of exact gps tracking data such that unique individuals could be identified
Note this is distinct from security, which more relates to controlling access to information.
