User Privacy Question

Say i have an app which the premise that it offers a safe place for users to “log” sensitive personal data they might not want the world to know about their commitments to various things.

Over the long run I would want to organise manage and use this data for many purposes, one being to approach individuals who meet whatever criteria i have set up according to the data. Maybe to sell them services or learn from them.

How would one go about user anonymity but still be able to link “logs” to users.

Is this feasible?

I would like to say “your logs are encrypted and cannot be read by just anyone” but at the end of the day an engineer would be able to link the user to their data by decryption.

Is this acceptablet?
