Abstract
The revisions to data privacy acts allows the disclosure of data after anonymizing personal information. Such anonymized data is expected to be useful in research and services, but there are high concerns about privacy breaches such as re-identifying of the individuals from the anonymized data. In this paper, we showed that identifying individuals from public data is not very difficult, and also raises questions about the reliability of the public data. We suggest that users understand the trade-offs between data disclosure and privacy protection so that they can use data securely under the revised data privacy acts.
