In an article in a German company magazine for non-technical people about computer and related security:
"Wenn ich selber ein WLAN bereitstelle, sollte die Kennung des WLANs keine Rückschlüsse auf technische Details wie Modellbezeichnung des Geräts, Orte oder Namen beinhalten."
What is the correct translation for Rückschlüsse in this context, please?
Many thanks

: I suspect this may be an instance where "ich" is best translated as "you".

: The rest of the sentence needs a bit of work, but the translation for "Rückschlüsse" provided here sounds very good in this context. (Also note that "Rückschlüsse beinhalten" in the source text is nonsense. The verb should be "zulassen".)

[permit] conclusions (/inferences/deductions)
There are various ways you could phrase this but I would find the most natural to be something like "The WLAN ID should not allow any conclusions to be made about ... "

implicit references
no implicit references should be made as to technical details....etc.
Information, by its nature, cannot do without an identity factor, so 'identifying information' is really an oxymoron.
What could be said is 'no direct or indirect information'

"If you provide your own Wi-Fi access point, the network ID [or SSID] should not reveal any specific identifying information such as the device model, locations or names."
