Anonymization

Anonymization is a procedure for concealing personal data. It ensures that the individuals remain anonymous and that their identifying information is removed from the data sets used.  

For example, if a particular person’s purchases or movements were logged over time, then anonymization would mean that it would be impossible for another individual or organization to identify that person from this data.

It is safe to note that GDPR does not apply to anonymized data!
