 % Crowdsensing applications
 The plethora of sensors currently embedded in personal devices and other infrastructures have paved the way for the development of numerous \emph{crowdsensing services} (e.g.,~Ring~\cite{ring}, TousAntiCovid~\cite{tousanticovid}, Waze~\cite{waze}, etc.) based on the collected personal, and usually geotagged and timestamped data.
 % Continuously user-generated data
-User--service interactions gather personal event-like data that are data items comprised by pairs of an identifying attribute of an individual and the---possibly sensitive---information at a timestamp (including contextual information), e.g.,~(\emph{`Bob', `dining', `Canal Saint-Martin', $17{:}00$}).
-%For a reminder, when the interactions are performed in a continuous manner, we obtain time series of events.
-% Observation/interaction duration
-%Depending on the duration, we distinguish the interaction/observation into finite, when taking place during a predefined time interval, and infinite, when taking place in an uninterrupted fashion.
-Example~\ref{ex:scenario} shows the result of user--LBS interaction while retrieving location-based information or reporting user-state at various locations.

-  Consider a finite sequence of spatiotemporal data generated by Bob during an interval of $8$ timestamps, as shown in Figure~\ref{fig:scenario}.
-  Events in a shade correspond to privacy-sensitive

For instance, $p_1$ and $p_8$ are significant because he was at his home, which is around {\'E}lys{\'e}e, at $p_3$ he was at his workplace around the Louvre, and at $p_5$ he was at his hangout around Canal Saint-Martin.

 % Privacy-preserving data processing
-The services collect and further process the time series in order to give useful feedback to the involved users or to provide valuable insight to various internal/external analytical services.
+% Services collect and further process the time series in order to give useful feedback to the involved users or to provide valuable insight to various internal/external analytical services.
 The regulation regarding the processing of user-generated data sets~\cite{tankard2016gdpr} requires the provision of privacy guarantees to the users. 
-At the same time, it is essential to provide utility metrics to the final consumers of the privacy-preserving process output. 
-To accomplish this, various privacy techniques perturb the original data or the processing output at the expense of the overall utility of the final output.
-A widely recognized tool that introduces probabilistic randomness to the original data, while quantifying with a parameter $\varepsilon$ (`privacy budget'~\cite{mcsherry2009privacy}) the privacy/utility ratio is \emph{$\varepsilon$-differential privacy}~\cite{dwork2006calibrating}.

 Due to its \emph{composition} property, i.e.,~the combination of differentially private outputs satisfies differential privacy as well, differential privacy is suitable for privacy-preserving time series publishing.
-\emph{Event}, \emph{user}~\cite{dwork2010differential, dwork2010pan}, and \emph{$w$-event}~\cite{kellaris2014differentially} comprise the possible levels of privacy protection.

 In this chapter, we propose a novel configurable privacy scheme, \emph{\thething} privacy (Section~\ref{sec:thething}), which takes into account significant events (\emph{\thethings}) in the time series and allocates the available privacy budget accordingly.
 We propose three privacy schemes that guarantee {\thething} privacy.
-To further enhance our privacy methodology, and protect the {\thethings} position in the time series, we propose techniques to perturb the initial {\thethings} set (Section~\ref{sec:theotherthing}).\kat{this is the content that you must enrich and motivate more in the intro of this chapter}
