Abstract

We’ve developed a practical guide to de-identification for government agencies and businesses including not-for-profit and private sector organisations. Our framework can help data custodians to identify and address the key factors relevant to their particular data sharing or release situation, including privacy risk analysis and control, stakeholder engagement, and impact management.

De-identification is not an exact science and, even using the De-Identification Decision-Making Framework (DDF), it requires complex judgement calls. The DDF is intended to help data custodians make sound decisions based on best practice, but it is not a step-by-step algorithm. We recommend that users seek expert advice on the de-identification process, particularly with the more technical risk analysis and control activities.
