nonpersonal
Lacking human element
Nonpersonal describes things not relating to or directed at a specific person.
A nonpersonal account belongs to an organization rather than an individual.
Nonpersonal communication addresses a general audience rather than someone in particular: The mass mailing felt nonpersonal and generic.
The word often carries a slightly cold or bureaucratic tone.
