GAN API Lab / tag collection

Privacy

Similarity and disclosure risk are different questions. Read about purpose-limited data handling, controlled evaluation boundaries, and release review for synthetic records. These articles avoid treating random generation or realistic-looking rows as proof that a dataset is safe for unrestricted distribution.

Use this collection to identify the assumptions behind a proposed privacy claim. Consider the source data, recipient, available background information, intermediate artifacts, and intended reuse. A narrow test can provide useful evidence, but it should not be expanded into an unsupported guarantee or a claim of legal compliance.
