Anonymization of data

Anonymization of data: The process of removing or obfuscating personally identifiable information from a dataset in such a way that the individuals whom the data describes remain anonymous. Techniques for data anonymization might include data masking, pseudonymization, and data shuffling. The goal is to protect individual privacy, especially in cases where data is shared or published, while still enabling useful analysis of the data.
