ConnectionsExpert (CE) offers two variants of data protection that are used throughout the product: Anonymization and Pseudonymization (A&P). Which one is used depends on the data that is being looked at, the state of the user profile and what is set up via license or configuration.

Your CE license has a license property that controls whether user data is anonymized or pseudonymized in your environment. The default for this property is that A&P Anonymization / Pseudonymization is enabled unless requested otherwise. You can check your A&P setting in the System Configuration menu to verify your status.

The main difference is that these users will be referred to as "-[ Deleted User XXX ]-" rather than "-[ Pseudonymized User XXX ]-".
