Hello!
I am wondering if there is a way to use private data in the notebook in the csv format.
I have tried to research this topic and I am aware it is possible with database connections, but is there a similar way to do so with a simple local file? Would just attaching csv file work or is it not secure for the private data?
Best regards,
Maria
Hi Maria, and welcome to the forum.

In sum: there are many ways, including 1) to āin-lineā your CSV data (as shown in the notebook linked above), and 2) to attach it as a file attachment.
When in-lining your data, remember that youāll need a tool to help you parse the CSV file. In the example, Mike uses d3 for this.
Does this help?
Can you elaborate what you would consider as secure? As long as you donāt link-share or publish your notebook it will only be accessible to you.
It does. Thank you!
Hello. I have the same question. In this video Security and data access in Observable / Observable / Observable the speaker seems to say ādonāt put sensitive data in file attachmentsā. But I hear you saying āitās OK if you attach sensitive data in a private notebook, since only you and your team would see it. Also, when they see it, they must only see it via login, never by shared link.ā Assuming Iāve understood you correctly, do you have an resource directly from Observable that supports your assertion? Thanks for your help!
