+# EU-Retail-UX-Feedback-Live
+
+Real-time, **GDPR-anonymised** user-experience (UX) feedback collected from the
+e-commerce website, mobile app and customer-service platform of a large European
+retail company (1000+ employees) operating in **the United Kingdom, France and
+Germany**. The dataset is refreshed every **30 minutes**, and every published
+version is immutable, checksummed and taggable so it is fully **auditable and
+rollback-able**.
+

+## Why this dataset exists
+
+To continuously optimise the customer experience, the company collects feedback
+across the full shopping journey — page loading speed, search relevance, product
+recommendations, checkout flow, delivery experience and after-sales support.
+This dataset powers:
+
+- sentiment analysis / rating prediction models,
+- multilingual text-classification of experience dimensions,
+- root-cause analysis of UX pain points per market,
+- dashboards tracking CX health over time.
+
+## Data fields / schema
+
+Each record contains the following fields:
+
+| Column | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `feedback_id` | string | Unique record identifier (pseudonymous). |
+| `user_pseudo_id` | string | Pseudonymous user identifier (HMAC-SHA256, not reversible without salt). |
+| `session_id` | string | Pseudonymous browsing/session identifier. |
+| `market_region` | string | `United Kingdom`, `France` or `Germany`. |
+| `country_code` | string | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code: `GB`, `FR`, `DE`. |
+| `language` | string | BCP-47 language tag: `en-GB`, `fr-FR`, `de-DE`. |
+| `timestamp` | string | ISO 8601 UTC timestamp of the feedback event. |
+| `experience_dimension` | string | One of 6 dimensions (see below). |
+| `rating` | int | Score from 1 (very poor) to 5 (excellent). |
+| `feedback_text` | string | Free-text feedback, UTF-8 encoded, in the market language. |
+| `device_type` | string | `desktop`, `mobile` or `tablet`. |
+| `source_channel` | string | `website`, `mobile_app` or `customer_service`. |
+
+### Experience dimensions
+
+`page_load_speed`, `search_relevance`, `product_recommendations`,
+`checkout_flow`, `delivery_experience`, `after_sales_support`
+
+## Coverage
+
+- **Markets:** United Kingdom (GB), France (FR), Germany (DE) — balanced, 1/3 each.
+- **Languages:** en-GB, fr-FR, de-DE (feedback text matches the market language).
+- **Channels:** website, mobile app, customer service.
+- **Devices:** desktop, mobile, tablet.
+- **Time range:** rolling 24h window, refreshed every 30 minutes.
+
+## GDPR compliance (pseudonymisation & minimisation)
+
+This dataset was built in line with the EU **General Data Protection Regulation
+(GDPR)** (Regulation (EU) 2016/679). The pipeline performs:
+
+1. **Deletion of direct identifiers** — fields `user_email`, `user_name`,
+   `phone_number` and `address` are dropped and never published. **No direct
+   personal data is present in this dataset.**
+2. **Pseudonymisation** — the real user identifier is replaced by a
+   pseudonymous ID derived with `HMAC-SHA256` plus a secret salt
+   (`user_pseudo_id`), and session identifiers are pseudonymised as well
+   (`session_id`). The salt is stored separately and access-controlled, so the
+   mapping cannot be reconstructed from the published data.
+3. **Free-text scrubbing** — residual PII patterns (e-mail addresses, phone
+   numbers, UK/FR/DE postcodes, card-like numbers) are redacted from the
+   `feedback_text` field before upload.
+4. **Data minimisation** — only the attributes required for UX analytics are
+   published; no financial, biometric or sensitive data is collected.
+5. **Purpose limitation & retention** — pseudonymised records are retained only
+   for as long as needed for CX analysis; raw (identifiable) data is held in a
+   restricted internal store with a short retention policy and is never uploaded
+   to the Hub.
+
+Full documentation of the anonymisation measures is provided in
+[`gdpr/anonymisation_report.md`](gdpr/anonymisation_report.md) and the
+reproducible pipeline is in [`scripts/generate_ux_feedback.py`](scripts/generate_ux_feedback.py).
+
+> ⚠️ This dataset contains **synthetic** feedback used for demonstration and
+> model-development purposes. No real customer data is included.
+
+## Versioning & auditability
+
+The dataset is updated every **30 minutes**. Version management follows
+semantic versioning and is designed to be **auditable and rollback-able**:
+
+- **Immutable snapshots** are stored under `snapshots/<version>/`.
+- Every version has a **SHA-256 checksum** (parquet and CSV) recorded in
+  [`versions/manifest.json`](versions/manifest.json).
+- A human-readable history is maintained in
+  [`versions/CHANGELOG.md`](versions/CHANGELOG.md).
+- Each published version corresponds to a **git commit/tag** on the Hub
+  (`v1.0.0`, `v1.1.0`, `v1.2.0`, …), so any previous version can be restored
+  with a single checkout (rollback).
+- The canonical, latest snapshot always lives at `data/ux_feedback_live.parquet`.
+
+| Version | Window (UTC) | Added | Total | SHA-256 (parquet) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| v1.0.0 | 2026-08-12T13:47 → 2026-08-13T13:47 | 4,998 | 4,998 | `3882044c…e54` |
+| v1.1.0 | 2026-08-13T13:47 → 14:17 | 750 | 5,748 | `e0488237…ccb` |
+| v1.2.0 | 2026-08-13T14:17 → 14:47 | 750 | 6,498 | `1365bc41…875` |
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+ds = load_dataset("toolathon123/EU-Retail-UX-Feedback-Live", split="train")
+print(ds)
+```
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+df = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/toolathon123/EU-Retail-UX-Feedback-Live/data/ux_feedback_live.parquet")
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Synthetic data: the free-text feedback is generated, not collected from real
+  customers, and may not fully reflect real-world language variation.
+- The dataset is refreshed continuously; results should always be pinned to a
+  specific version (e.g. `v1.2.0`) for reproducible experiments.
+- Ratings are not expert-verified; treat them as user-reported signals.

+# GDPR Anonymisation & Pseudonymisation Report
+
+**Dataset:** `EU-Retail-UX-Feedback-Live`
+**Regulation:** EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679)
+**Review date:** 2026-08-13
+**Owner:** UX Data Engineering — EU Retail (UK / FR / DE branches)
+
+This report documents the measures applied so that the published dataset complies
+with GDPR principles of **data minimisation**, **purpose limitation**, and
+**data protection by design and by default** (Art. 25), and follows guidance on
+**pseudonymisation** (Art. 4(5), Recital 26 & 28).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Source systems and collected raw attributes
+
+Raw records arrive in near real-time from three collection surfaces:
+
+- E-commerce **website** (web analytics + feedback widget)
+- **Mobile application** (iOS/Android in-app feedback)
+- **Customer service** platform (chat/e-mail/ticket summaries)
+
+The raw (pre-processing) records contain the following fields:
+
+| Field | Category | Published? |
+|---|---|---|
+| `user_id` | Direct identifier | ❌ Dropped |
+| `user_email` | Direct identifier / PII | ❌ Dropped |
+| `user_name` | Direct identifier / PII | ❌ Dropped |
+| `phone_number` | Direct identifier / PII | ❌ Dropped |
+| `address` | Direct identifier / PII | ❌ Dropped |
+| `session_id_raw` | Indirect identifier | ⚠️ Pseudonymised → `session_id` |
+| `feedback_text` | Free text | ⚠️ Scrubbed (PII patterns redacted) |
+| `market_region`, `country_code`, `language`, `timestamp`, `experience_dimension`, `rating`, `device_type`, `source_channel` | Analytical attributes | ✅ Published as-is |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Measures applied
+
+### 2.1 Deletion of direct identifiers (data minimisation)
+
+The fields `user_email`, `user_name`, `phone_number` and `address` are **deleted**
+from every record **before** upload. They are never written to the Hub repository.
+The raw data remains only in a restricted, access-controlled internal store with a
+short retention period, and is deleted on request (right to erasure, Art. 17).
+
+### 2.2 Pseudonymisation of identifiers (Art. 4(5))
+
+Real user and session identifiers are replaced by **pseudonymous IDs** computed as:
+
+```
+pseudo_id = HMAC-SHA256(salt, namespace + ":" + raw_id)[0:16]
+```
+
+- The **salt** is a high-entropy secret stored in a separate secrets manager,
+  accessible only to the data-engineering platform (no human access by default).
+- Because the salt is never published, the mapping `pseudo_id → raw_id` **cannot
+  be reconstructed** from the Hub data alone.
+- The same raw user always maps to the same pseudonymous `user_pseudo_id` within
+  a salt epoch, enabling longitudinal analysis without re-identification.
+- A **salt rotation policy** (e.g. quarterly) further reduces re-identification
+  risk across time windows.
+
+### 2.3 Free-text scrubbing
+
+The `feedback_text` field is scanned and residual PII patterns are redacted to
+`[REDACTED]` before publication:
+
+- E-mail addresses (regex for RFC-5322-like patterns)
+- Phone numbers (international + local formats, incl. +44/+33/+49)
+- UK postcodes, French postcodes (5 digits), German postcodes (5 digits)
+- Credit-card-like number sequences
+
+### 2.4 Data minimisation of published attributes
+
+Only attributes required for UX analytics are published. No financial, health,
+biometric, political, religious or other special-category data (Art. 9) is
+collected or published.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Validation performed before upload
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Direct PII columns present (`email`, `name`, `phone`, `address`) | None |
+| E-mail patterns in `feedback_text` | 0 matches |
+| Phone-number patterns in `feedback_text` | 0 matches |
+| Postcode patterns in `feedback_text` | 0 matches |
+| `user_pseudo_id` / `session_id` are pseudonymous hex tokens | 100% |
+| All text valid UTF-8 (round-trip encode/decode) | 100% |
+| Language tag matches market (en-GB↔UK, fr-FR↔FR, de-DE↔DE) | 0 mismatches |
+| Rating within 1–5 | 100% |
+
+Automated validation is part of the CI/CD pipeline; a failing check blocks the
+publish step.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Rights of data subjects
+
+Although the published dataset is pseudonymised (and here also synthetic), the
+organisation maintains the ability to honour data-subject rights on the internal
+raw store:
+
+- **Right of access (Art. 15)** and **rectification (Art. 16)**: supported via
+  the internal raw store keyed by the raw user id.
+- **Right to erasure (Art. 17)**: raw records are deleted on request; published
+  pseudonymous records are re-issued after salt rotation to prevent linkage.
+- **Right to object (Art. 21)**: honoured via the consent/preference centre.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Consent & lawful basis
+
+Feedback is collected under **legitimate interest** (Art. 6(1)(f)) with clear
+privacy notice, or under **consent** (Art. 6(1)(a)) where required by local law
+(e.g. France/CNIL and Germany/BDSG guidance on cookie and analytics consent).
+Analytics are privacy-by-default: no advertising-grade profiling.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
+
+A DPIA was conducted for the live-feedback analytics processing. Key findings:
+
+- Risk of re-identification: **low** after pseudonymisation + salt protection.
+- Residual risk: pseudonymous linkage across time; mitigated by salt rotation
+  and by publishing only analytical attributes.
+- Data transfer: dataset is published on a public hub; because the data is
+  pseudonymised/synthetic and contains no direct identifiers, this is considered
+  compliant with the transfer safeguards under Chapter V when combined with the
+  SCCs and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable.
+
+---
+
+*This report is stored alongside the dataset for audit purposes and is reviewed
+on every major release cycle.*

+EU-Retail-UX-Feedback-Live - Synthetic live UX feedback dataset generator
+=========================================================================
+
+This script produces a realistic, *synthetic* real-time user-experience (UX)
+feedback dataset for a large European e-commerce retail company (1000+ employees)
+operating in the United Kingdom, France and Germany.
+
+The pipeline has two stages:
+
+  Stage 1 - RAW generation:
+      Simulates records as they would arrive from real collection systems
+      (e-commerce website, mobile app, customer service platform). RAW records
+      contain direct personal data (user email, name, phone number, address)
+      to illustrate what must NEVER be published.
+
+  Stage 2 - GDPR anonymisation (pseudonymisation):
+      * Deletes all direct identifiers (email, name, phone, address).
+      * Replaces the real user identifier with a pseudonymous ID
+        (HMAC-SHA256 over the raw user id with a secret salt).
+      * Replaces session identifiers with pseudonymous session tokens.
+      * Scrubs free-text feedback for residual PII patterns
+        (emails, phone numbers, UK/FR/DE postcodes, common personal data).
+      * Every record is encoded as UTF-8 and tagged with a BCP-47 language
+        identifier (en-GB, fr-FR, de-DE).
+
+Only the anonymised output is ever uploaded to the Hugging Face Hub.
+
+Versioning
+----------
+The dataset is refreshed every 30 minutes. Each refresh produces an immutable,
+cumulative snapshot (v1.0.0, v1.1.0, ...) with a SHA-256 checksum recorded in
+a version manifest so every published version is auditable and rollback-able.
