Goal and impact
The anonymisation tool is used to give substance to transparency on the one hand and the necessary protection of the persons to whom the documents relate on the other.
Considerations
The municipality of Almelo has to deal with various laws and regulations under which the municipality actively discloses information upon request. This information may contain privacy-sensitive data. In doing so, it is important that this data is anonymised. Manual anonymisation is error-prone, time-consuming and can result in data leaks. The anonymisation tool enables users to anonymise personal data and confidential information efficiently and effectively.
Human intervention
The work process for using the anonymisation tool stipulates that there is always human control; that is, there is always an employee checking and assessing the final result before further processing the information concerned.
Risk management
The risk of using the anonymisation tool is negligible because the tool does not make any decisions. The anonymisation tool generates a proposal for anonymising data and information. The employee of the Almelo municipality always performs the test whether a document is correctly anonymised.
