1. A method, comprising:
receiving, via at least one computing device associated with a contextual privacy system of an organization, a request of a user for a data variable associated with at least one entity of a plurality of entities;
determining, via the at least one computing device associated with the contextual privacy system, that data variable is one of a plurality of data variables that contain privacy-sensitive information related to the plurality of entities and are stored in one or more data stores of the organization;
causing, via the at least one computing device associated with the contextual privacy system, the requested data variable to be de-identified based on one or more rules of the contextual privacy system, wherein causing the requested data variable to be de-identified comprises:
obtaining, via the at least one computing device associated with the contextual privacy system, contextual data associated with at least one of: the data variable and the at least one entity;
determining, via the at least one computing device associated with the contextual privacy system, a particular probabilistic model of a plurality of probabilistic models based on the contextual data; and
generating, via the at least one computing device associated with the contextual privacy system, a perturbation value by applying the particular probabilistic model using a particular key as input to the particular probabilistic model; and
in response to the request of the user for the data variable, sending, via the at least one computing device associated with the contextual privacy system, a de-identified value to a computing device of the user by modifying a current value of the data variable by the perturbation value.
