By contrast to anonymization, Article 4(5) of the GDPR defines pseudonymization as “the processing of personal data in such a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information.” *By holding the de-identified data separately from the “additional information,” the GDPR permits data handlers to use personal data more liberally without fear of infringing the rights of data subjects.* This is because the data only becomes identifiable when both elements are held together.
