verisptab 0.1.0

Privacy preserving tables!

VerisPTab

Description

VerisPTab is a Python package that generates a "private duplicate" of a given table, obfuscating any potential Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in the process.

Installation

VerisPTab can be installed via pip:

pip install verisptab

After installation, you can import the generate function and use it as follows:

from verisptab import generate

new_df = generate.generate("path_to_the_original_table")

This will create a new dataframe new_df that is a "private" version of the original table.

Special Rules for PII Removal

Please rename the columns in your input table (CSV) to follow the following rules

If a column contains full names, please name the column FULL_NAME.

If a column contains last names, please name the column LAST_NAME.

If a column contains first names, please name the column FIRST_NAME.

If a column contains addresses, please name the column LOC_ADDRESS.
