Anonymisation

Anonymisation is the process of removing personally identifiable information (information that directly or indirectly relates to an identified or identifiable person) from datasets containing sensitive data. As a result, data subject is no longer identifiable. As opposed to pseudonymisation, anonymisation is not reversible, which means that the re-identification of the data subject is not possible.

Various digital tools that can automate anonymisation are available, e.g. Amnesia, ARX, Privacy Protection Application, etc.
