"Pseudonymous" with respect to whom?

The document defines "pseudonymous" with respect to a first party controlling the linkage of identifiers and unlinking them from third parties. Many users would expect a definition in which they (the "second party"?) were in control of their pseudonymity.

Maybe we need a modifier in the defined term, as in "pseudonymized by a first party"?
