Your token journey

IPMS helps you transform personal data into pseudonyms so you can share and analyse data containing personal identifiers while protecting individual privacy and complying with GDPR.

Pseudonymisation with IPMS involves two systems that work together:

• IPMS Portal knows who you are and manages your settings, but never sees your data.
• INCERT service processes your data for pseudonymisation, but only validates your token, not your identity.

Your privacy by design

IPMS never sees your data — it only manages your projects and issues tokens. INCERT never knows who you are — it only validates the token, not your identity or organisation. Neither system alone has the full picture, keeping your data and identity separated by design.

To pseudonymise your data, you interact with the IPMS Portal to generate tokens, then use those tokens with INCERT. Here's the full journey:

1. Request a token: Through the IPMS Portal, request a token for the dataset you want to pseudonymise
2. Receive your token: An LNDS administrator reviews and approves your request — you then receive your authentication token via the Portal
3. Send your data: Use the token to send your data directly to INCERT for processing
4. Get pseudonyms: INCERT returns your pseudonymised data according to your project settings
