Thanks, Katrin and Andrew.
It's good to know that the anonymization only currently involves the
old_issues table. I apparently don't have sufficient privilege to see
the the bug, but I hope that the issue of anonymizing the statistics
table can be addressed.

Hi Andy,
at the moment the anonymization is limited to the old_issues table. See:
*Bug 23453*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23453> - The
statistics table bypasses anonymization of circulation data
I believe cleanup_database.pl has an option to remove statistics entries.
Hope this helps,
Katrin

We regularly run the patron anonymization script as documented at <

The documentation for the batch patron anonymization <

I'm wondering whether any anonymization is supposed to occur in the
statistics table. Our statistics table goes back several years, and I
don't see any anonymization of the borrowernumber there.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Andy
