T-closeness is a privacy model in data protection that ensures sensitive attributes in a dataset are not disclosed by controlling the distribution of sensitive values. It goes beyond other privacy models like k-anonymity and l-diversity by ensuring that the distribution of sensitive data within any group of records is close to the overall distribution in the dataset, thus preventing information leakage about sensitive attributes even in aggregate forms.
