View and update settings

In the settings page you can configure and manage the general anonymization settings for the entire web application. The settings defined here are applied as default configurations to every new dataset uploaded to the platform.
  • Set Default Parameters: Adjust the settings for epsilon and k-anonymity according to your privacy requirements.
    • Epsilon (ε): Controls the trade-off between data privacy and accuracy. A lower epsilon value increases privacy by adding more noise, while a higher epsilon value offers greater accuracy but less privacy.
    • k-Anonymity: Ensures that each record is indistinguishable from at least k-1 other records that share similar quasi-identifiers. Increasing k enhances privacy but may reduce the utility of the data.
  • Save Changes: Click 'Save' to apply these settings. They will become the new defaults for all future datasets uploaded to the platform.
💡
Changes to these settings will only affect datasets created after the changes. Existing datasets will retain the anonymization settings that were in place at the time of their creation.
Remember you can always change the settings of a specific dataset under dataset settings.
