Privacy in statistical databases is a discipline whose purpose is to provide so- tionstothetensionbetweenthesocial,political,economicandcorporatedemand for accurate information, and the legal and ethical obligation to protect the p- vacy of the various parties involved. Those parties are the respondents (the individuals and enterprises to which the database records refer), the data o- ers (those organizations spending money in data collection) and the users (the ones querying the database or the search engine, who would like their queries to stay con?dential). Beyond law and ethics, there are also practical reasons for data-collecting agencies and corporations to invest in respondent privacy: if individual respondents feel their privacy guaranteed, they are likely to provide moreaccurateresponses. Data ownerprivacyis primarilymotivatedbypractical considerations: if an enterprise collects data at its own expense, it may wish to minimize leakage of those data to other enterprises (even to those with whom joint data exploitation is planned). Finally, user privacy results in increaseduser satisfaction, even if it may curtail the ability of the database owner to pro?le users.
