Other techniques

In addition to the techniques discussed in the previous chapters, other techniques exist that can help protect data subjects’ privacy. Here, we discuss the following techniques:

• Encryption, for example of files, folder or entire drives.
• Synthetic data that does not contain data from real individuals, but can mimic statistical properties of the original dataset.
• Data donation, in which citizens are asked to donate digital trace data for scientific research purposes.
