The Deidentification Dilemma:  A Legislative and Contractual Proposal  Robert Gellman 1  Version 2.4  July 12, 2010      Abstract     Deidentification is one method for protecting priva cy while permitting other uses  of personal information.  However, deidentified dat a is often still capable of being  reidentified.  The main purpose of this article is  to offer a legislative-based  contractual solution for the sharing of deidentifie d personal information while  providing protections for privacy.  The legislative  framework allows a data  discloser and a data recipient to enter into a volu ntary contract that defines  responsibilities and offers remedies to aggrieved i ndividuals.     Introduction       The goal of protecting the privacy interests of in dividuals often conflicts with ever- increasing demands for use of personal data to achi eve potentially beneficial objectives in public  health, law enforcement, national security, anti-te rrorism, fraud prevention, and research in  different fields of study.  Conflicts over privacy  can be reduced, moderated, and balanced in  various ways.       Deidentification – the removal of identifiers from  personal information used or disclosed  for purposes unrelated to the purpose for which the  information was originally obtained – is one  method for protecting privacy while permitting othe r uses of personal information.  However,  deidentification does not always make it impossible  to reidentify individuals.  Reidentification is  the linkage of deidentified personal information wi th an overt identifier belonging or assigned to  any living or dead individual.       It is a premise of this article that statistical,  encryption, or other mathematical approaches  to deidentification that protect privacy will not p rovide solutions that will address every type of  […]
