A Visual Guide to Practical Data De-Identification - Future of Privacy Forum fpf.org

What do scientists, regulators and lawyers mean when they talk about de-identification? How does anonymous data differ from pseudonymous or de-identified information? Data identifiability is not binary. Data lies on a spectrum with multiple shades of identifiability.

The “Visual Guide to Practical Data De-Identification” (PDF) by the Future of Privacy Forum is doing a really great job in presenting the scale of data categories from fully identifiable to entirely anonymous, with three key dimensions and tangible examples.

I'm Sebastian, Sociologist and Interaction Designer. This journal is mostly about bringing together social science and design for inclusive, privacy-focused, and sustainable "human-first" digital strategies. I also tend to a "digital garden" with carefully curated resources.

My occasionally sent email newsletter has all of the above, and there is of course also an RSS feed or my Mastodon/Fediverse profile.
