Between major privacy regulations like the GDPR and CCPA and expensive and notorious data breaches, there has never been so much pressure for data scientists to ensure data privacy. Unfortunately, integrating privacy into your data science workflow is still complicated. This essential guide will give you solid advice and best practices on breakthrough privacy-enhancing technologies such as encrypted learning and differential privacy--as well as a look at emerging technologies and techniques in the field.Practical Data Privacy answers important questions such as:What do privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA mean for my project?What does "anonymized data" really mean?Should I anonymize the data? If so, how?Which privacy techniques fit my project and how do I incorporate them?What are the differences and similarities between privacy-preserving technologies and methods?How do I utilize an open-source library for a privacy-enhancing technique?How do I ensure that my projects are secure by default and private by design?How do I create a plan for internal policies or a specific data project that incorporates privacy and security from the start?

How do you take your data analysis skills beyond Excel to the next level? By learning just enough Python to get stuff done. This hands-on guide shows non-programmers like you how to process information that's initially too messy or difficult to access. You don't need to know a thing about the Python programming language to get started. Through various step-by-step exercises, you'll learn how to acquire, clean, analyze, and present data efficiently. You'll also discover how to automate your data process, schedule file- editing and clean-up tasks, process larger datasets, and create compelling stories with data you obtain. Quickly learn basic Python syntax, data types, and language concepts Work with both machine-readable and human-consumable data Scrape websites and APIs to find a bounty of useful information Clean and format data to eliminate duplicates and errors in your datasets Learn when to standardize data and when to test and script data cleanup Explore and analyze your datasets with new Python libraries and techniques Use Python solutions to automate your entire data-wrangling process
