The paper argues that evaluating anonymity in synthetic data generation must focus on the generative model rather than just the resulting dataset. It interprets GDPR definitions of personal data and anonymization under realistic model-access scenarios, mapping these to state‑of‑the‑art privacy attacks. The authors conclude that synthetic data alone is insufficient for anonymization, and that Differential Privacy offers stronger protection than Similarity‑based Privacy Metrics.

The paper introduces a Differentially Private Federated Proximal (DP‑FedProx) framework for predicting customer churn in telecom networks. It compares DP‑FedProx with FedAvg, DP‑FedAvg, FedProx, and several centralized/local models on two public churn datasets, showing that DP‑FedProx consistently outperforms FedAvg variants and matches the best centralized model with only a slight accuracy loss while offering privacy guarantees. SHAP analysis reveals that DP‑FedProx prioritizes revenue‑group features, highlighting its practical balance between performance and privacy.
