Towards a Systematic Analysis of Privacy Definitions

Data collection and analysis help drive innovation in business and science. In many cases, it is beneficial to share the data (e.g., to crowd-source the analysis [34], to enable collaborations, etc.). The data often contain sensitive information and so the straightforward sharing of data is not possible. In such cases, the original data should be passed to a sanitizing algorithm which processes the input data and outputs sanitized data. If the sanitizing algorithm is well-designed, it should be safe to release this sanitized data.
