Anonymization is a process through which personal data is made non-personal. When we collect data, we often collect it from sources that include a lot of personally identifiable information that allows us to identify a particular individual. Since there are many laws and regulations relating to the use of personal information, we want to remove the personal information or at least modify it so that it no longer leads back to a particular person. Find some examples of data you might be interested in that would contain data that allows specific people to be identified. How would you process that data to anonymize it?
