anonymization → deidentififcation (or pseudonymization) #1782

Closed DimitriPapadopoulos closed 2 months ago

DimitriPapadopoulos commented 2 months ago

Following https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/pull/1769#discussion_r1565742030, I would recommend changing anonymization to deidentififcation, as anonymization has a very specific meaning under the GDPR and probably ISO/IEC 29100:2011 → ISO/IEC 29100:2024 / ISO/IEC 27559:20 (but I don't have the ISO standards to make sure):

PROCESS BY WHICH PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (PII) IS IRREVERSIBLY ALTERED IN SUCH A WAY THAT A PII PRINCIPAL CAN NO LONGER BE IDENTIFIED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, EITHER BY THE PII CONTROLLER ALONE OR IN COLLABORATION WITH ANY OTHER PARTY
