Pseudonymized representations use a system code; the link to a household is kept separately
Spectrum says representations in the context intelligence services are not stored with household identifiers. They use a system-generated code, and any link between the code and a household is kept separate, limited to approved system processes, access-controlled and logged. This means a link to a household exists; the policy describes controls on it rather than deleting it.
