Explanation
Anonymization is the process of irreversibly altering data so that individuals cannot be identified, directly or indirectly. Unlike pseudonymization (which replaces identifiers with substitutes that can be reversed), anonymization is permanent. Data minimization (A) means collecting only the data necessary for a purpose. Privacy (B) is the broader right to control personal information. Consent (C) is an individual's agreement to data processing.
