PET Decision Tree: choose the right technology

Is your organisation considering to use Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to safely extract shared insights from multiple data sources? Knowing where to begin can be challenging. Our PET Explorer is designed to help: an online tool that cuts through complexity, clarifies your specific challenge and points you applicable PET solutions. Use the decision tree below.

Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs)

Sharing data unlocks major opportunities for innovation, but sensitive information must be protected. Privacy‑Enhancing Technologies (PETs) enable organisations to analyse data together without revealing personal details. With techniques like secure multi‑party computation, federated learning and synthetic data, PETs let you create value while safeguarding privacy.

Online tool: PET Decision Tree

To help you determine which PET best suits your situation, we provide a structured approach. This is where the PET Decision Tree comes in: a practical tool that guides you through the key considerations and helps you identify the most appropriate PET for your specific challenge. The tree is supported by a Guide and Checklist document.

Before using the PET Decision Tree

Checklist

The Checklist motivates the user to define the use case in detail, pinpoint potential issues and think about potential solutions. It specifically requests the user to not (yet) restrict him- or herself to PET-based solutions.

Guide

The Guide helps organizations to efficiently and successfully use the Decision Tree. Its purpose is to facilitate a discussion that involves technical and legal aspects; however, note that it is not a legal document and you should always conduct your own legal research before using PETs.
