EDPB creates more clarity on pseudonymization

"On January 16, 2025, the European Data Protection Board (EDSA) further defined the concept of pseudonymization, providing practical clarifications. The BfDI, Prof. Dr. Louisa Specht-Riemenschneider, considers pseudonymization a good way to reduce risks in data processing, making it easier for responsible parties to rely on legitimate interest as a legal basis. This can be particularly helpful in scientific research, enabling more evidence-based findings."
