Ikkepersonfølsomme

Ikkepersonfølsomme is a Danish term that translates to "non-personally identifiable" or "non-identifiable" in English. It refers to data or information that cannot be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual. This distinction is crucial in data privacy and security.

When data is considered ikkepersonfølsomme, it means that it has been anonymized or aggregated in such a way that a specific person cannot be linked to it. Examples include general statistics about a population, such as the average age of users in a region, or aggregated sales figures for a product. This type of data is generally not subject to the same strict regulations as personal data, as its disclosure poses no significant privacy risk.

The concept of ikkepersonfølsomme data is important for organizations that handle large amounts of information. By de-identifying data, they can use it for analysis, research, and product development without compromising individual privacy. It also facilitates data sharing for broader societal benefit, such as in public health research, where anonymized data can reveal trends without revealing sensitive information about specific patients. The process of ensuring data is truly ikkepersonfølsomme requires careful consideration to prevent re-identification through clever data combination.
