[All GDPR Questions]

Which statement below regarding the difference between anonymization and pseudonymization is correct?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

According to GDPR Recital 26, anonymization permanently removes any possibility of re-identification, making it irreversible. Pseudonymization, as defined in Article 4(5), is reversible if the correct key or additional information is available. Pseudonymization still qualifies as personal data under GDPR, whereas anonymized data falls outside the scope of GDPR.

This is a tricky one, but I'm leaning towards B. Anonymization is about making data unidentifiable, while pseudonymization is about replacing identifiers in a way that can be traced back. Just don't ask me to explain it in plain English!

I'm torn between A and B, but I'll have to go with B. Anonymization is irreversible, while pseudonymization is reversible with additional info. Gotta love those data privacy terms!

I think C is the way to go. Anonymization is about replacing data, while pseudonymization is about adding noise to obscure the original data. Simple enough, right?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure B is the correct answer. Anonymization makes the data completely unidentifiable, while pseudonymization just replaces identifiers with a code that can be traced back to the original data.

I think you're right, B sounds like the correct answer. Anonymization is about making data unidentifiable, while pseudonymization still allows for tracing back to the original.
