  • Anonymise - This will mark the record as anonymised. It requires a field set that is configured for identifiable information fields (Names, Addresses etc).
Note: At present information in 'details of contact' or 'further actions required' in the Record A Contact fields will not be cleansed or anonymised.  This will however be a feature available in a future version).

Type of cleanse/anonymisation

The first section allows you to choose which action you wish to take;

  • Cleanse only the data in chosen field sets - This will remove the data in the fields specified from the field set(s) selected on the field set list. This is for when you have created a field set(s) that has the fields that you know you want to remove. You will not be able to use the field set that has been specified for anonymisation in GDPR Settings.
  • Keep data in chosen field sets and cleanse everything else - This will keep data in the fields specified by the chosen set(s). This is for when you have field sets that specify the data that you are required to keep for your project/services. You will not be able to use the field set that has been specified for anonymisation in GDPR Settings.
  • Anonymise all data for these people/organisations - This will anonymise the select records using the field set specified in the GDPR Settings. It wall also mark the records as Anonymised and they will not appear in future searches.
