Frequently asked questions about GDPR and anonymization
Does AI replace organizational responsibility?
No. AI supports detection and suggestions. The organization remains responsible for the final redaction decision.
How does Anonify support GDPR Article 25?
By detecting and redacting personal data early, before documents are shared or published.
Where are documents processed?
Processing takes place in secure EU hosting with access controls and logging aligned with GDPR Article 32.
Can the DPO access audit information?
Redaction and export decisions are recorded in an audit log: who, when, which decision and which legal ground (exemption), without the document text itself. Admins see the overview per organisation and can export it as CSV. Logging starts from when this feature went live.
