Description:
These system preferences add a way to pseudonymize patron data while keeping useful transaction information for reporting. Pseudonymization can be part of the library’s security and data protection practices, enabling the librarians to shorten the time they retain personal data in other Koha tables.
Pseudonymized data is stored in database tables pseudonymized_transactions (for transactions and patron data) and pseudonymized_borrower_attributes (for patron attributes).
No direct identifiers for the patron are recorded; the pseudonymized_transactions table uses an encrypted version of the borrowernumber.
After enabling the Pseudonymization system preference, edit the patron attribute types you want to record in the pseudonymized_borrower_attributes table. Mark those attributes as „Keep for pseudonymization“.
When Pseudonymization is enabled, data from fields selected in PseudonymizationPatronFields and PseudonymizationTransactionFields is recorded in the pseudonymized_transactions and pseudonymized_borrower_attributes tables. Entries are added for each new transaction (checkout, checkin, renew, on-site checkout). This is on top of transactions data being recorded in the usual database tables, e.g., issues and statistics.
Values in the pseudonymization tables are recorded „as they are“ at the time of the transaction. These tables are not affected by the deletion of patrons or items.
Older entries in the pseudonymization tables can be deleted using the clean up database script.
Bemerkung
Data is not retrospectively added to the tables: only new transactions performed after Pseudonymization is enabled are recorded.

For pseudonymization to work, Bcrypt_settings must be filled in the Koha configuration file.
