How to anonymize contributions?
It might be necessary to anonymize your contribution to ensure the privacy and protection of sources and other people, especially in interviews or other ethnographic material. In such cases, here are some tips:
Do not include any personal information (name, pseudonym, phone number, email address, date of birth, etc.).
Why not use a false name created just for this contribution?
Instead of specifics (place of work, family members, medical conditions, etc.), keep descriptions vague and use general terms.
Instead of addresses, talk about neighborhoods and cities. Make sure no one is identifiable in the photos – this can boost your creativity!
Voices and faces are also considered personal data.
