Amendment 228· Digital Omnibus proposal Recital 27b (new)

(27b)The recognised privacy-enhancing techniques on which the protection of pseudonymous data relies should reflect the state of the art and be promoted across the Union. They include, in particular, pseudonymisation and key separation, strong encryption of data at rest and in transit, aggregation and generalisation, the addition of statistical noise and differential privacy, synthetic data generation, secure multi-party computation, the use of secure processing environments, and contractual and organisational prohibitions on re-identification. The Commission, in close cooperation with the European Data Protection Board, should support controllers and processors in applying such techniques and in assessing the residual risk of re-identification, taking into account the means reasonably likely to be used, and should stipulate the relevant technical criteria by means of an implementing act.
