1. A computer-implemented method for use in providing neutral data access, the method comprising:
accessing, by a computer device, a first data element in a data structure;
assigning, by the computer device, a first unique identifier to the first data element;
replacing, by the computer device, the first data element in the data structure with the first unique identifier, whereby the first data element is removed from the data structure;
encrypting, by the computer device, the first unique identifier of the data structure;
storing, by the computer device, the data structure, with the encrypted first unique identifier, in a multi-tenant data structure, for access by a data host computer device;
assigning, by the data host computer device, a second unique identifier to the encrypted first unique identifier; and
replacing, by the data host computer device, the encrypted first unique identifier in the multi-tenant data structure with the second unique identifier, whereby the encrypted first unique identifier is removed from the multi-tenant data structure, prior to providing access to the second unique identifier in the multi-tenant data structure to a data processor.
