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 the documents relate, on the other.

Considerations

Kapelle municipality has to deal with various laws and regulations under which the municipality actively discloses information upon request. This information may contain privacy-sensitive information. In doing so, it is important that this information is anonymised. Anonymising data by hand is a time-consuming task that also involves errors and data leaks. Using DataMask's software, users themselves are enabled to anonymise personal and confidential information efficiently.

Human intervention

The documents anonymised through the software are checked by an employee. The employee determines whether the document has been correctly anonymised.

Risk management

Risk is minimal because DataMask does not make decisions. DataMask makes a proposal for anonymising data and information. The municipality employee always does the final check whether a document is correctly anonymised.

Legal basis

WOO and the AVG

Operations

Data

This depends on the document being anonymised. Examples include personal data such as e-mail addresses, phone numbers, bank account numbers, address details and signatures. And based on the Open Government Act (Woo), it can also include data beyond personal data. These grounds for exception are listed in the Woo.
