Potentially fine so long as anonymisation is done properly.

As you noted, mertle, the DPA covers personal data. Stripping the data sets of this makes it a non-issue.

Still let the paranoia reign, compared with some privacy violations into our life this is absolutely nothing.

I obviously won't be opting out as I couldn't care less who has anonymised data on my various ailments I've had to manage.
