Utility-Aware Anonymization of Sequential and Location Datasets

A mechanism is provided for anonymizing sequential and location datasets. Responsive to receiving the sequential and location datasets from an enterprise, the sequential and location datasets are scanned to expose a set of privacy vulnerabilities. A set of privacy constraints P is generated based on the set of discovered privacy vulnerabilities and a set of utility constraints U is identified. The sequential and location datasets is anonymized using the set of privacy constraints P and the set of utility constraints U thereby forming an anonymized dataset. The anonymized dataset is then returned to the enterprise.
