The Importance and Legal Challenges of Data Pseudonymization: Considering the Principles of Personal Data Processing.

Across all countries and within the framework of personal data protection laws, due to the expansion of data volume processed by various companies, fundamental principles such as legality, accuracy, security, purpose limitation, and data minimization have been established to minimize violations of individuals' privacy. Furthermore, these legal frameworks often reference specific technical methods designed to ensure the secure processing of personal data, including pseudonymization. However, due to insufficient attention to the details of these techniques and tools within the laws of leading jurisdictions—and the absence of explicit legal provisions in countries such as Iran—significant ambiguities persist regarding their proper implementation, effects, economic aspects, and the role of pseudonymization in ensuring compliance with data processing principles. This study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, relying on both printed and digital library sources, and employs a comparative perspective to scrutinize the technical methodologies and specific requirements for effective pseudonymization. The primary research question addressed is: To what extent does pseudonymization contribute to precise implementation of legal data processing principles? The findings indicates that, although pseudonymization effectively reduces the direct linkage between data and individual identities, it alone is insufficient to guarantee full compliance with legal processing principles—particularly if the process remains reversible. Nonetheless, when combined with additional techniques such as data encryption, pseudonymization can substantially enhance compliance with data processing principles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
