How do identifying details come out?
What a record looks like before and after preparation, and why removing names alone is not enough.

The work stays. The identifying details come out.
Before records are used for training, the buyer's agreed preparation process removes or replaces names, contact details and other identifiers. You approve the rules first.

Replacing names alone does not make data anonymous. Rare details, dates and combinations can still point to a person, so the full process is agreed in writing with the buyer.
