Pseudonymised data does not usually include names and addresses in their original form. Instead, these directly identifying details like names and addresses are typically replaced by artificial identifiers, such as codes or pseudonyms. This process makes the data less directly identifiable, but with the right additional information (kept separately and secure), the original identity can potentially be re-linked to the data. Therefore, pseudonymised data conceals the original personal identifiers but does not include them plainly, as the goal is to protect privacy while maintaining the data's usefulness for analysis or processing.

Key Points on Pseudonymised Data:

• Names and addresses are replaced by pseudonyms or codes.
• The original identifiers are not included in the pseudonymised dataset.
• Pseudonymised data is still considered personal data under GDPR because re-identification is possible with additional information.
• The process reduces risk but does not fully anonymize the data.

Hence, the statement that pseudonymised data will usually include names and addresses is false. Instead, pseudonymised data replaces these with coded identifiers to protect individual privacy.
