Data Management (Subtraction)

Data Management techniques remove or reduce sensitive elements in data:

  • Masking: Partially or fully replacing sensitive fields (e.g., replacing names with “XXXXX”).
  • Tokenization: Substituting sensitive data with tokens or references.
  • Aggregation: Grouping data points so they’re no longer tied to individuals.

These methods limit exposure while retaining some utility for analysis.
