reidentifying
Spotting once more
Reidentifying is the act of identifying someone or something again, especially after a period of anonymity or obscurity.
In data privacy contexts, it means linking supposedly anonymized information back to specific individuals: Researchers demonstrated how easily they could reidentify patients from the hospital's "anonymous" dataset.
The term also applies to recognizing someone after a long absence or change in appearance.
