Records / De-identification rules
Content is screened as well as names
Records about health, children, beliefs, sex life, union membership, ethnicity, crime, biometrics or a person's finances are flagged, and so are HR matters, legal advice and other parties' confidential material. They are not removed by guesswork: you read them and leave them out unless you may share them.
