Four applications where anonymizing can play a role
When it comes to protecting privacy-sensitive data through anonymizing, we often think of situations where this data is ultimately used for research or analysis purposes. However, there are more applications where anonymizing can play a crucial role. We've outlined the four most common applications for you!
What is anonymizing and how do you apply it?

That's not surprising, as purpose limitation is essentially at the core of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). But what does it exactly mean, and why is it so important?
