Goal and impact
Support in the review process where legal protection applies to information that is disclosed. Protection from the AVG (persons) and Woo laws (especially company confidential), where grounds for exception are named.
Considerations
Manual review is intensive and error-prone. A suggestion list from the entity extraction algorithm brings all conceivable instances of individuals into the text.
Human intervention
Within the software, a list is built and offered to the user to select in the automatic varnishing process. The choice to adopt an advised term as a person name and not to disclose it is up to the user.
Risk management
There is no risk of automated decision-making and the algorithm has no impact on fundamental rights because the algorithm does not make decisions with legal consequences. It only makes a proposal for anonymising personal data. The employee of the administrative body always makes the final check whether a document has been correctly anonymised.
Legal basis
Legislation around public access to government data (Woo)

Technical design
Texts are recognised on the basis of Named Entity Recognition (NER) and a process within Insights extracts the names for further processing towards the management interface and the automatic lacquer rules.

- The algorithm underlines personal data in documents. An employee has to look at all pages and check whether the document is properly anonymised. Then the software removes all highlighted information and blacklists it. After that, the documents can be published, for example under the Open Government Act (WOO).Last change on 28th of January 2025, at 10:30 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
