The protection of private information is a crucial issue in data-driven research and business contexts. Typically, techniques like anonymisation or (selective) deletion are introduced in order to allow data sharing, e. g. in the case of…

Synthetic data is often presented as a method for sharing sensitive information in a privacy-preserving manner by reproducing the global statistical properties of the original data without disclosing sensitive information about any…
