A local decision assistant based on
the European Data Protection Board's
draft "Anonymisation Guidelines" summary,
October 2026. It is meant as an illustration (not legal advice), but can hopefully be of some use to visualise what works and what does not. If you spot any inaccuracies, please reach out to Peter Craddock. For more about the Guidelines and their flaws or risks, read my in-depth analysis (and critique): EDPB Guidelines on Anonymisation: where unforeseeable is reasonable?
Data may be anonymous for one entity but personal for another.
This assistant records your assessment; it does not perform
re-identification testing or verify your answers.
Contextual questions are adapted to assess one entity at a time.
Uncertainty routes and the extra scope confirmation are explicitly
labelled as interface safeguards.
