Region selection inclusion

When operating on a global scale, different HERE Anonymizer Self-Hosted instances can be used to anonymize data in different regions.

One of the operational requirements can be that data is processed and anonymized in a specific country due to geopolitical or market-driven factors.

The region selection inclusion feature allows to filter and process only the trajectory points that belong to the selected country or region. This allows to create an anonymization configuration that's compliant with country or region-specific legislation.

Configure this method using the following parameters under include parameter of region.selection block in the configuration:

• regionUris: List of country or region URIs which point to the files with the country or region definitions. At least one area URI must be defined.

• outerPointStrategy: With this setting you can choose what happens to the data recorded outside the selected country or region. It can be retained or dropped. Default value: drop.

The definition of countries, regions, or states must be provided as a side file in the GeoJSON format.

To learn more about configuration, see Region and area configuration.

Example use cases:

• Processing of historical data to provide country-specific insights.
• Processing of historical data with different configuration requirements for different countries or states.
