Data Anonymization Basics

Reduce identifiability in data

Effective anonymization drops direct identifiers, generalizes or buckets quasi-identifiers, adds noise where needed, and assesses re-identification risk before sharing or analysis.

Remove Direct IDs

Strip names, emails, device IDs; replace with tokens.

Reduce Linkability

Bucket ages/locations; limit rare combinations.

Test Risk

Assess re-identification risk; add noise or k-anonymity safeguards.
