Privacy data encryption & deletion while preserving analytical integrity

(XiaoHan Li) Privacy regulations around the world impose strict requirements on how organisations handle personal data (such as Australia's Privacy Act, the EU's GDPR, US's HIPAA & CCPA, etc). Among the hardest to implement in a data pipeline are protecting sensitive data from breaches, and erasing an individual's personal data on request.Finding and deleting every copy of sensitive data is cumbersome, error-prone, and breaks referential integrity. Meanwhile, sensitive data sitting in plaintext is exposed the moment a breach occurs. https://2026.pycon.org.au/schedule/PZTFZF/ python, pycon, australia, programming, conference, technical, developers, panel, sessions, libraries, frameworks, community, sysadmins, students, education, data, science Videos licensed as CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 PyCon AU is the national conference for the Python programming community, bringing together professional, student and enthusiast developers, sysadmins and operations folk, students, educators, scientists, statisticians, and many others besides, all with a love for working with Python.
