thumb|While a person can usually be readily identified from a picture taken directly of them, the task of identifying them on the basis of limited data is harder, yet sometimes possible.
De-identification is the process used to prevent someone's personal identity from being revealed. For example, data produced during human subject research might be de-identified to preserve the privacy of research participants. Biological data may be de-identified in order to comply with HIPAA regulations that define and stipulate patient privacy laws.
