the meaning of the terms as including the always operative and standing clauses delineated in the Definitions section of the Codes and Policies, under “Always Operative, Standing;”
3.10.16.5.2. As in Data, Information, Research
further defined to mean and refer to any data or information processing or research and investigation conducted to analyze, evaluate, predict, or otherwise make decisions concerning aspects, attributes, or characteristics relating to a natural person, for example, an individual’s behavior or habits, choices or decision-making, economic or financial situation, health, fitness or wellness, hobbies or interests, location or movements, performance at work, personal preferences, psychology, reliability, rest or sleep, etc;
3.10.16.5.3. Where Automated
further defined, in the context of data and information processing or research and investigation, to have the terms “automated individual decision-making” and “automated decision-making” mean and refer to any such profiling primarily or solely conducted by automated means — using, for instance, algorithms, artificial intelligence, or machine-learning — with the understanding that such automated decision-making often involves limited or no human participation in the analysis, equally limited human discernment in the decision-making, and thus reduced opportunity for holding an entity accountable or responsible when errors or adverse effects result;
3.10.16.5.4. Where Occurring
with the understanding that profiling may be occurring when an entity, office, or person is:
3.10.16.5.4.1. Occurring, Collecting
(a) collecting personal biospecimens, data, or information about a natural person from a variety of sources, some publicly accessible, some thought private;
3.10.16.5.4.2. Occurring, Analyzing

3.10.16.5.5. Decisions with Legal Effects
with the understanding that such profiling, especially their decisions and predictions, often have or lead to legal or similarly significant effects for a natural person concerned, whose consequences and implications warrant ethical attention, especially since finding an association or correlation in the sets of collected biospecimens, data, or information does not mean that it is significant or that it would be accurate, appropriate, correct or ethical to use it in making the decisions in question.
3.10.16.5.6. Warranting Protections
with the understanding, therefore, that conduct or service entailing profiles or profiling — including any activity, agent, arrangement, or involved material or matter — require and remain under strict protections, as provided for in the Data and Information Policy, the Human Subjects Research Policy, the Codes and Policies, and applicable law and regulation.
3.10.16.5.7. Warranting Risk Minimizing
with the further understanding that natural persons concerned should, per Policy, ensure and verify that such profiling has been and remains properly conducted and, moreover, does not incur high or even more than minimal risk to the natural person concerned. Such risk vigilance and minimization may be fulfilled by ensuring:
3.10.16.5.7.1. Risk Minimizing, Informing
(i) that the natural person concerned be reasonably informed before, during and after the processing or research;
3.10.16.5.7.2. Risk Minimizing, Prohibiting
(ii) that in certain instances — where the individual is a child — such processing and research be strictly prohibited;
3.10.16.5.7.3. Risk Minimizing, Protecting
(iii) that in other instances — where sensitive biospecimens, data, and information are involved — additional protections be in place;
3.10.16.5.7.4. Risk Minimizing, Assessing
(iv) that in other instances — for instance, large-scale processing, or monitoring a publicly accessible place — such collected biospecimens, data, or information and their associated risks be minimized by conducting a “processing risks assessment,” “profiling risks assessment” or a “research risks assessment” then addressing any concerns found; and finally
3.10.16.5.7.5. Risk Minimizing, Consenting
(v) that the natural person concerned be asked to consent, where such person is, following a reassuring risks assessment, permitted to consent.
‘Pseudo-anonymization, -nymization’

the meaning of the terms as including the always operative and standing clauses delineated in the Definitions section of the Codes and Policies, under “Always Operative, Standing;”
3.10.16.6.2. Pseudonymized, Matter
further defined to mean and refer to, in the context of data and information processing or research and investigation, any biospecimen, data, or information that does not permit or result in identification, either directly or indirectly, without the use of additional information kept separately and subject to “technical and organizational measures” to ensure such non-identification;
3.10.16.6.3. Pseudonymized, Means
further defined to mean and refer to, in the context of data and information processing or research and investigation, the access, collection, or other processing of any biospecimen, data, or information via means or method that does not permit or result in identification, either directly or indirectly, without the use of additional information kept separately and subject to “technical and organizational measures” to ensure such non-identification;
3.10.16.6.4. Pseudonymized, Means
with the understanding that pseudonymization is typically employed to make processing and research highly protective and respectful of consent, confidentiality, privacy, and security as well as for-purpose-only uses with respect to the natural person concerned and the biospecimen, data, or information; thus the “technical and organizational measures” (required, for example, by the European Union’s GDPR law) serve as a means to increase protections around “re-identifying information” that — when necessary or upon an authorized or authenticated user’s request — could be combined to re-attribute personal biospecimens, data, and information to a natural person concerned;
3.10.16.6.5. Still Personal
with the understanding that any biospecimen, data, or information that has undergone a process of pseudonymization or been described as “pseudonymized” remain personal, since it could still be, and is often expressly designed to be, used to identify a natural person concerned, for example, when locked-out users request to regain access to their account or stored content;
3.10.16.6.6. Still Protected
with the result that any such pseudonymized personal biospecimen, data, or information, as well as its access, collection, or other processing, require and remain under strict protections, as provided for in the Data and Information Policy, the Human Subjects Research Policy, the Codes and Policies, and applicable law and regulation; for this reason, natural persons concerned should still, per Policy, ensure and verify that such irreversible pseudonymization has been and remains properly and truly conducted;
3.10.16.6.7. With Definition Distinctions
hence The Ikoku Services’s efforts to make clear distinctions between it use of the terms de-identification, non-identification, pseudo-anonymization or pseudonymization, and irreversible anonymization.
