depersonalise
Strip personal identity
Depersonalise means to remove individual character or human qualities from something.
Organizations depersonalise service when they replace human interaction with automated systems.
In psychology, to depersonalise is to experience detachment from one's own identity or body—a dissociative state where the self feels unreal: Stress can cause people to depersonalise.
The spelling depersonalize is standard in American English.
