Recital 26
(26) Ba cheart feidhm a bheith ag prionsabail na cosanta sonraí maidir le haon fhaisnéis a bhaineann le duine nádúrtha sainaitheanta nó in-sainaitheanta.
Sonraí pearsanta ar cuireadh ainm bréige i bhfeidhm orthu agus a d’fhéadfaí a chur i leith duine nádúrtha trí fhaisnéis bhreise a úsáid, ba cheart a mheas gur faisnéis faoi dhuine nádúrtha in-sainaitheanta na sonraí sin.
Chun a chinneadh an bhfuil duine nádúrtha in-sainaitheanta nó nach bhfuil, ba cheart aird a thabhairt ar na modhanna go léir, amhail díriú ar leith, is dócha, le réasún, a úsáidfidh an rialaitheoir nó duine eile chun an duine nádúrtha a shainaithint go díreach nó go hindíreach.
Lena fháil amach an bhfuil sé réasúnta dóchúil go mbainfear úsáid as bealaí chun an duine nádúrtha a shainaithint, ba cheart aird a thabhairt ar fhachtóirí oibiachtúla uile, amhail na costais a ghearrfar agus an t-achar ama is gá le haghaidh sainaitheanta, agus an teicneolaíocht a bheidh ar fáil tráth na próiseála agus forbairtí teicneolaíocha á gcur san áireamh.
Níor cheart, dá bhrí sin, feidhm a bheith ag prionsabail na cosanta sonraí maidir le faisnéis anaithnid, eadhon faisnéis nach mbaineann le duine nádúrtha sainaitheanta nó in-sainaitheanta nó le sonraí persanta atá anaithnid ar bhealach agus nach bhfuil an t-ábhar sonraí in-sainaitheanta nó nach bhfuil an duine sin in-sainaitheanta a thuilleadh.
Dá bhrí sin, ní bhaineann an Rialachán seo leis an bpróiseáil a dhéantar ar fhaisnéis anaithnid den sórt sin, lena n-áirítear chun críoch staidrimh agus taighde.
(26) The principles of data protection should apply to any information concerning an identified or identifiable natural person.
Personal data which have undergone pseudonymisation, which could be attributed to a natural person by the use of additional information should be considered to be information on an identifiable natural person.
To determine whether a natural person is identifiable, account should be taken of all the means reasonably likely to be used, such as singling out, either by the controller or by another person to identify the natural person directly or indirectly.
To ascertain whether means are reasonably likely to be used to identify the natural person, account should be taken of all objective factors, such as the costs of and the amount of time required for identification, taking into consideration the available technology at the time of the processing and technological developments.
The principles of data protection should therefore not apply to anonymous information, namely information which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is not or no longer identifiable.
This Regulation does not therefore concern the processing of such anonymous information, including for statistical or research purposes.

(EN) Anonymisation should not be confused with depersonalization in the meaning adopted in the Russian Federation. In accordance with Article 3 of the Federal Personal Data Act No. 152-FZ of 27 July 2006 (in the wording of 31 January 2017) «depersonalization of personal data» means actions as a result of which it becomes impossible to determine the belonging of personal data to a specific subject of personal data without using an additional information. Under the GDPR the term «anonymisation» means…
