Can I give anonymous respondents an identifier so later they can request removal from data?

I want to give anonymous respondents a way in which they can come back and ask for their responses to be removed from the data set.
The only way I can think to do that is to give each respondent a unique code which cross references with the data set? They could then email the survey organisers and ask for their data set to eb removed by giving us the unique code.
Anyone got any ideas on how we can do this on a fairly simple survey (collecting community demographics).
Thanks a lot
Stephen

We can randomly generate and display a unique x digit number for each respondent and ask them to note it for future if they want to delete their data.
