\chapter{Significant events} \label{ch:the-thing} In this chapter, we propose a novel configurable privacy scheme, \emph{\thething} privacy, which takes into account significant events (\emph{\thethings}) in the time series and allocates the available privacy budget accordingly. We propose two privacy models that guarantee {\thething} privacy and validate our proposal on real and synthetic data sets. \input{the-thing/motivation} \input{the-thing/contribution} \input{the-thing/problem} \input{the-thing/evaluation} \input{the-thing/summary}
