6.3. MAKING PERSONAL DATA ANONYMOUS
Anonymization of personal data means that personal data cannot be associated with an identified or identifiable natural person under any circumstances, even if it is matched with other data. The anonymization methods used in POLİKLINK are as follows:
Removing variables: It is the removal of one or more of the direct identifiers that are included in the personal data of the relevant person and that will help to identify the relevant person in any way.
Regional hiding: It is the process of deleting the information that may be distinctive about the exceptional data in the data table in which the personal data is collected in an anonymous form.
Generalization: It is the process of bringing together the personal data of many people and turning them into statistical data by removing their distinctive information.
Lower and Upper Bound Coding: For a certain variable, the ranges of that variable are defined and categorized. If the variable does not contain a numeric value, then close data in the variable are categorized. Values within the same category are combined.
Macro Joining: With this method, all the records in the data set are first arranged in a meaningful order and then the whole set is divided into a certain number of subsets. Then, by taking the average of the value of each subset of the determined variable, the value of that variable of the subset is replaced with the mean value. In this way, since the indirect identifiers in the data will be corrupted, it is difficult to associate the data with the relevant person.
Data mixing and corruption: Direct or indirect identifiers in personal data are mixed with other values or their relationship with the relevant person is broken and they lose their descriptive qualities.
