This information can be used to build such a clear picture of who you are that bad actors can know you better than your partner does. In the wrong hands, this data can influence the way you shop, the way you vote, the way you think...\n\nA necessary step to protect ourselves is to anonymize data - to strip it of any identifying features like our names or addresses. While many of the people handling private data are trustworthy, honest and ethical, we can't always trust that they will successfully scrub a dataset of any information which may be used against us.\n\n`privacypanda` aims to make data anonymization a little bit easier by providing tools to detect identifying features in [`pandas`][pandas] dataframes and expunge them.\n\n## How to install\n`privacypanda` requires python of `3.7` or above and `pandas \u003e= 1.0.0`.\n\n`privacypanda` can be installed via pip with\n\n```\npip install privacypanda\n```\n\nAlternatively, to install from source:\n1. clone the repository\n2. navigate to the project folder\n3. run `pip install -e .`\n\n## How to use\nSee the [example notebooks](./examples/) for more extensive usage.\n[Click this link][binder] to run the example notebooks online.\n\nWith `privacypanda` you can audit the privacy of your dataframe:\n```python\nimport pandas as pd\nimport privacypanda as pp\n\ndata = pd.DataFrame(\n    {\n        \"privateData\":\n            [\n                \"an@email.com\",\n                \"AB1 1AB\",\n                \"Some other data\",\n            ],\n        \"nonPrivateData\":\n            [\n                1,\n                2,\n                3,\n            ],\n    }\n)\n\nprint(pp.report_privacy(data))\n```\n\nThis prints the names of any colums in the data which break privacy,\nand the ways in which privacy is broken.\n\n```python\n\u003e\u003e\u003e \"privateData\": [\"address\", \"email\"]\n```\n\n## Contributing\nAll contributions are important and welcomed.\nPlease see the [contributing guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for more information.\n\n## License\nThe **PrivacyPanda** project is licensed with Apache 2.0.\nPlease refer to the [license](./LICENSE) for more information.\n\n\n[binder]: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/TTitcombe/PrivacyPanda/master\n[pandas]: https://pandas.pydata.org/\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fttitcombe%2Fprivacypanda","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fttitcombe%2Fprivacypanda","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fttitcombe%2Fprivacypanda/lists"}
