Pseudonymous data refers to datasets where identifiers have been replaced with pseudonyms, allowing the data to still be linked to the same individual without directly revealing their identity. This means that while the data cannot directly identify an individual without additional information, it is still possible to re-identify the individual if the pseudonym is linked back to the individual.
[Reference:, IAPP Certification Textbooks: "Pseudonymization" is explained as a privacy-enhancing technique where direct identifiers are replaced with pseudonyms, allowing data to be re-identified only under specific conditions., , ]
