- PEP [pseudonymizes data](Pseudonymization) to prevent multiple downloaders from blending data into a larger data set.
- PEP [keeps previous data](#retention) versions available after a cell's contents are overwritten.
Because of these features, PEP is usable for the storage of any (sensitive and/or confidential) information that must be made available in a pseudonymized form. Its current applications include the storage and dissemination of medical data for multiple academic research projects. Because of this, some of PEP's [terminology](Glossary) is geared toward such use.

## Pseudonymization
Perhaps the most central and unique feature of the system, different PEP users receive different row identifiers to refer to the same row. This prevents downloaders from blending their respective data into a single, larger data set. Thus, with its built-in pseudonymization mechanism, PEP provides some basic privacy safeguards when disseminating sensitive data such as medical or financial information.
