Also known as: anonymous data, de-identification strong
Last updated August 9, 2026
Definition
Anonymization permanently removes or alters personal identifiers so individuals cannot reasonably be re-identified — stronger than casual “we removed names.”
Real-World Example
Publishing survey stats as totals without IDs is closer to anonymization than sharing a spreadsheet of raw responses.
