[All GDPR Questions]

When pseudonymization is used in a dataset, the data is divided into restricted access data and non-identifiable dat

a. This restricted access data includes gender, occupation, and age, whereas the non-identifiable data includes only nationality. Is this correct?

AYes, when pseudonymization is used, non-identifiable data includes only nationality, whereas restricted access data includes gender, occupation, and age

BNo, non-identifiable data includes gender, nationality, and occupation, whereas restricted access data includes first name, last name, and age, among others

CNo, only anonymization can be used to divide a dataset into restricted access data and non-identifiable data

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Pseudonymization does not remove data identifiability but rather reduces the direct link to an individual (GDPR Article 4(5)). Non-identifiable data includes attributes like gender and occupation, whereas restricted access data includes directly identifying details such as names. Anonymization, not pseudonymization, ensures complete irreversibility.

Are you kidding me? Non-identifiable data includes nationality? What a joke! Everyone knows that's the first thing people look for to identify someone.
