Data is <dfn data-lt="de-identify|de-identification">de-identified</dfn> when there exists a high level of confidence
that no [=person=] described by the data can be identified, directly or indirectly
(e.g. via association with an [=identifier=], user agent, or device), by that data alone or in
combination with other available information. Many local regulations define their own requirements
for data to be considered [=de-identified=]. Such regulations should not be read as a privacy ceiling. Note
combination with other available information. Many local regulations define additional requirements
for data to be considered [=de-identified=], but those requirements should not be treated as a maximum
degree of privacy protection. Note
that further considerations relating to groups are covered in the
<a href="#collective">Collective Issues in Privacy</a> section.
