> The pseudonym (gid) is itself considered PII under GDPR.

I know of multiple systems that use a UID but throw away a user’s information, including the UID mapping, when the user leaves. This allows historic metrics to be retained without ever identifying a user who isn’t still using the system.

AFAICT, guids are a grey area.



I don't mind that at all, so long as that replacement is never shared with other entities.
