Dear community,

Are there any (official) guidelines, for instance on US or European (or national) level, how to de-identify and anonymize clinical data? Particularly I am interested in text (but not restricted to), and on the aspect of anonymization.

Moreover, I am wondering about when clinical data can be actually publicly shared. I assume that de-identification is by far not enough, particularly if you provide a patient history.

All the best,

Roland Roller
