Responsible use

Goal and impact

The anonymisation software is used to give substance to transparency on the one hand and the necessary protection of confidential data in documents on the other.

Considerations

The municipality of Landgraaf faces various laws and regulations that require us to disclose information. This information may contain sensitive information that must be anonymised or made irreversibly unreadable on the basis of legislation. Manually anonymising data is a time-consuming, error-prone job with a high risk of data leakage. Using anonymisation software, data can be anonymised efficiently and reliably.

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

The risk is minimal because the software does not make any decisions. The anonymisation software provides suggestions for anonymising data. The user tests these suggestions and decides whether the data should actually be anonymised or not.

Legal basis

Woo and AVG

Operations

Data

Personal data (e.g. mail address, address, signature) and data that may not be disclosed on the basis of the exemption grounds of the Open Government Act (Woo).
