Abstract
A request is received for a set of entries that make up a small cell in a database, wherein the small cell is initially described at a fine granular level of detail by a set of descriptors. In response to the total number of entries in the small cell being below a predetermined limit, the set of descriptors are modified to reduce the fine granular level of detail to a coarse granular level of detail in order to protect the privacy of individuals described by the set of entries.
