Goal and impact

The purpose of the algorithm is to anonymise privacy-sensitive information in documents, for example. This protects personal information and preserves the privacy of individuals.

Considerations

The algorithm is trained to recognise privacy-sensitive information, but it limits itself to classification. As a result, it does not reveal substantive information. Moreover, the technology helps improve the quality of anonymisation.

Human intervention

The results of the algorithm only work as a tool. People are always needed for final anonymisation.

Risk management

To monitor the algorithm's privacy risks, the algorithm is constantly being evaluated. Updates address any new threats. Employees always watch the algorithm and they can fix any errors. There are also regular consultations with stakeholders.
