Anonymization

Data can be considered as anonymous or anonymized, if it is not possible to “single-out” individuals with the data provided and when the applied mechanisms to anonymise are irreversible. Anonymous data is not identifiable data from the start, while anonymized data is data initially identifiable but for which a process has been put in place to make it not identifiable anymore (GDRP: art. 4(5)).
