Data Management Roles. De-Identifiable data Personal information is de-identified if the information is no longer about an identifiable individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. De-identification is a process that renders personal information into a form that is not identifiable. As a consequence, it is lawful for it to be shared or disseminated, or put to uses, which may otherwise not be permitted. De-identification involves two steps. The first is the removal of direct identifiers. The second is taking one or both of the following additional steps: • the removal or alteration of other information that could potentially be used to re- identify an individual, and/or • the use of controls and safeguards in the data access environment to prevent re- identification. If you are not clear whether data has been de-identified, set up processes for the research project that comply with the Identifiable or Re-Identifiable data pathways (pathways 2 and 3).
