deidentifies
Removes identifying information
Deidentifies means to remove or obscure identifying information from data, typically to protect privacy.
Medical records are deidentified by stripping names, addresses, and other details that could link them to specific patients: The hospital deidentifies patient data before sharing it with researchers.
The practice is standard in healthcare, research, and data science.
