What does the term "Pseudonymous" mean in relation to data?

Data encryption technique
Complete anonymity
Data is linked to an identified person
Data pertains to the same unidentified person

The correct answer is: Data pertains to the same unidentified person

"Pseudonymous" means that the data is related to the same unidentified person. In this context, pseudonymous data refers to information that has been altered or masked in a way that it cannot be directly attributed to an identified individual without additional information. This is different from complete anonymity where the data is completely detached from any identifiable individual. Data encryption technique is a method used to secure data but not specifically related to the term pseudonymous. Lastly, data linked to an identified person will not fall under the category of pseudonymous as the key aspect of pseudonymous data is the inability to directly identify the individual.
