Personal Data Management - is anonymization reversible?

Hello,

I have setup Personal Data Management to anonymize the customer email address. The solution seems to work well.

What I don’t understand is the following:

• is this just hiding the data on client side or did it really updated the value in the DB to m*********** for the email address?

We are also using the email address setup in communication method to also send the invoices automatically to the customer by email every time an invoice is printed/posted. Does that mean that after anonymizing the email address it will try to send invoices per email to m*********** and the email will fail?

Tagging @dsj Damith as I read some older where you have worked with Personal Data Management functionality.
