We study the problem of data disclosure with privacy guarantees, wherein the utility of the disclosed data is ensured via a hard distortion constraint. Unlike average distortion, hard distortion provides a deterministic guarantee of fidelity. For the privacy measure, we use a tunable information leakage measure, namely maximal $\alpha$- leakage $(\alpha \in [1, \infty$ and formulate the privacy-utility tradeoff problem. The resulting solution highlights that under a hard distortion constraint, the nature of the solution remains unchanged for both local and non-local privacy requirements. More precisely, we show that both the optimal mechanism and the optimal tradeoff are invariant for any $\alpha \gt 1$; i.e., the tunable leakage measure only behaves as either of the two extrema, i.e., mutual information for $\alpha=1$ and maximal leakage for $\alpha=\infty$.
