We introduce a generalization of differential privacy called
tailored differential privacy
, where an individual’s privacy parameter is “tailored” for the individual based on the individual’s data and the data set. In this paper, we focus on a natural instance of tailored differential privacy, which we call
outlier privacy
: an individual’s privacy parameter is determined by how much of an “
outlier
” the individual is. We provide a new definition of an outlier and use it to introduce our notion of outlier privacy. Roughly speaking,
ε
(·)
-outlier privacy
requires that each individual in the data set is guaranteed “
ε
(
k
)-differential privacy protection”, where
k
is a number quantifying the “outlierness” of the individual. We demonstrate how to release accurate histograms that satisfy
ε
(·)-outlier privacy for various natural choices of
ε
(·). Additionally, we show that
ε
(·)-outlier privacy with our weakest choice of
ε
(·)—which offers no explicit privacy protection for “non-outliers”—already implies a “distributional” notion of differential privacy w.r.t. a large and natural class of distributions.
