<p>Scheme for storage of private information on a cloud computing platform without contravention of territorial privacy laws via anonymizing a database of personal data. Data identifiers are assigned to data items and deviation identifiers are assigned to deviations for selected data items derived from reference records. Such information can then be uploaded to a cloud based storage platform. A translation table maps the data items, data identifiers and deviation identifiers to the original data entries. This translation table is stored locally and separate to the anonymized information uploaded to the cloud. The invention further describes a method of decoding the database anonymised according to the above scheme. Translation tables and deviation identifiers can be encrypted. The reference records comprise a common financial profile with pre-characterized financial data. The invention allows statistical analysis to be performed on the content of the data stored in the cloud without reference back to personal information. Data is entered by an authorized person on a device such as desktop computers, corporate servers, tablets, and smartphones, residing in appropriate geographical territories and software splits the data into the identifiers, pushed to the cloud, and translation tables kept within an organisation.</p> |
