imo, the person whose experience inspired you shouldn't be able to recognize their story, within reason, from what you write, unless it was already public, as in it happened in what we would call the public sphere or another stranger could also tell the story as something they experienced, or it was also your experience. The more traumatic the experience the more this is true, and you have to be careful with murder victims, imo (although lbr crime shows never are). Obviously none of this is exact, but it's much easier to avoid being an asshole this way.

That said, some things are going to come off as skeevy even if you write something based on what you experienced. I find the inspiration for Girl with a Dragon Tattoo super skeevy to base a book series on, like ugh about writing something as expiation for watching a gang rape and doing nothing. You should, in such a case, change as many details as possible and avoid talking about your inspiration.
