ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is when you take someone's real name and replace it with a fake one that still sounds like their real name. For example, if someone's name is Rachel, you could replace it with "Raquel" or "Rochelle". It's like giving someone a nickname that only you know and use. This is done to help protect someone's personal information and keep it from being shared without their permission.
