Responsible use

Goal and impact

The anonymisation software is used to give substance to transparency on the one hand and the necessary protection of the individuals and companies to whom documents relate on the other.

Considerations

The alternative is manual deletion of personal data. This is not efficient in practice. Using the tool takes work off your hands.

Human intervention

Documents anonymised by the software are checked by an employee after completion. Processed or marked data are not stored in a database. Further development and training of the intelligent techniques takes place separately and not on the basis of the documents added by the municipality of Meerssen.

Risk management

Risk is minimal.
