An account number is a unique identifier that can directly link a research subject to their personal information. Therefore, it must be removed to comply with the use of a limited data set which allows some identifiers to be present but still protects the privacy of research subjects. Age, gender, and race are indirect identifiers and can be allowed in a limited data set with proper safeguards in place.
