Goal and impact

The aim of the algorithm is to anonymise privacy-sensitive information contained in data objects. This protects personal information and safeguards individuals’ privacy.

Considerations

The algorithm has been trained to recognise privacy-sensitive information, but is limited to classification and will therefore never reveal any substantive information. Furthermore, the technology helps to improve the quality of anonymisation.

Human intervention

The results produced by the algorithm serve merely as a tool; human intervention is always required for the final anonymisation.

Risk management

To mitigate the privacy risks posed by the algorithm, it undergoes constant evaluation and updates to address new threats and privacy challenges. Human oversight and intervention are built into the system to correct errors. Furthermore, there is an ongoing dialogue with stakeholders.
