Responsible use

Goal and impact

Under the AVG, personal data from documents must be anonymised. The Open Government Act requires municipalities to actively disclose information, as a result of which many documents need to be anonymised. The algorithm supports this by automatically deleting personal data from documents.

Considerations

The alternative is manually filing away personal data. With the entry into force of the Open Government Act, this is an error-prone and, due to the high volume, inefficient process.

Human intervention

After each anonymisation, a check was always made by a staff member.

Risk management

Due to human intervention after each anonymisation, the risk is considered zero.

Legal basis

Woo (Open Government Act) and AVG

Data

Personal data, mail addresses, phone numbers, bank account numbers, address details, signatures

Technical design

The algorithm works on the basis of white- and blacklists to locate the data to be anonymised in the documents submitted for anonymisation.
