Goal and impact 
The purpose of the algorithm is to anonymise privacy-sensitive information in information objects. This protects personal information and preserves the privacy of individuals.
Considerations 
The algorithm is trained to recognise privacy-sensitive information, but is limited to classification and will therefore never reveal substantive information. Moreover, the technology helps improve the quality of anonymisation.
Human intervention 
The algorithm results only act as a tool, with human intervention always needed for final anonymisation.
Risk management 
To safeguard the privacy risks of the algorithm, it undergoes constant evaluation and updates to address new threats and privacy challenges. Human oversight and intervention are embedded to correct errors. Moreover, there is continuous dialogue with stakeholders.
