anonymization
This term describes a technical and legal procedure used primarily in data science, medicine, and law to strip identifiers from a dataset. It carries a connotation of security and compliance, often appearing in the context of GDPR or HIPAA regulations to ensure that individual identities cannot be reconstructed from the remaining data.
Because it refers to a specific process or a state of being, it is treated as an uncountable noun when discussing the general concept of removing identity. However, it can be used as a countable noun when referring to specific instances or different methods of performing the task, such as comparing various anonymization techniques.
