Article summary

The EDPB has published Guidelines 01/2025 on Pseudonymisation for public consultation. The guidelines clarify the legal definition of pseudonymisation under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (EU GDPR), emphasising that pseudonymised data remains personal data. They outline pseudonymisation's role as a safeguard for implementing data protection principles, particularly in risk reduction, data minimisation, and ensuring appropriate security levels. The EDPB also addresses the impact of pseudonymisation on data subject rights and its potential use in data transfers to third countries. Such comments should be sent 28th February 2025 at the latest using the provided form.
