# Privacy Enhancing Technologies
Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) comprise a suite of methodologies and tools designed to safeguard personal information while enabling legitimate data usage. These technologies aim to minimize data exposure by employing techniques such as encryption, anonymization, and differential privacy.
PETs help balance the need for data utility with the imperative of privacy preservation, thereby mitigating risks associated with data breaches and unauthorized access. By integrating PETs into data management practices, organizations can protect sensitive data, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. This approach not only fortifies data security but also fosters trust among stakeholders by upholding privacy commitments.
