Morphology

unpersonalized = personalized (transparent) = un + personal + ize + ed

Same productive formation as sense 1: un- + 'personalized' yields 'not showing personal/individual characteristics'.

Etymology

The word unpersonalized combines un- 'not' and personal 'relating to a person', the same root you see in person or personal. So when something is unpersonalized it feels cold or impersonal because it does not show individual attention or warmth.
