Data that is manually entered by users into a database

Data that is freely available to the public from government sources

What is a limitation of public data compared to generated or synthetic data?

It cannot be used for machine learning

It may not be tailored to a specific business context

It does not contain actual personal information from real individuals

It is exempt from all data protection laws
