The adjective "anonymised" is used to describe data that has undergone a process of manipulation—such as the removal of direct identifiers, aggregation, or suppression—to ensure it no longer relates to an identified or identifiable person. This means that truly anonymised data cannot be linked back to the original individual through any reasonable means. For this reason, anonymised data is no longer considered personal data and is no longer subject to data protections laws like the GDPR.
