General Notice: Synthetic Dataset Usage Guidelines

This repository contains synthetic data generated for various purposes, such as testing, demonstration, educational use, or software development. The data is entirely artificial and does not represent real individuals, organizations, or transactions.

Purpose

The synthetic dataset in this repository is intended for:

  • Testing: Validating software systems, pipelines, or algorithms.
  • Demonstration: Showcasing tools, data handling techniques, or workflows.
  • Educational Use: Training or teaching data analysis, data science, or machine learning concepts.

This dataset is not suitable for production environments or use cases requiring real data.

Key Details

  1. Data Generation:

    • The synthetic data was created using Python libraries (e.g., Faker, NumPy, Pandas) or custom algorithms.
    • Fields such as Name, Email, Address, Transaction Details, or others are randomly generated. They are designed to simulate real-world data formats without referencing actual entities.

  2. Legal and Compliance:

    • Since the data is synthetic, it does not fall under the scope of data protection regulations, including:
      • The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).
      • The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
    • The tools and libraries used comply with their respective licenses (e.g., MIT License for Faker).

  3. Ethical Use:

    • Do not misrepresent synthetic data as real in any professional, academic, or public setting.
    • Ensure transparency about the synthetic nature of the data when sharing or presenting it.
