Hur anonym.legal Fungerar

Deterministisk, regex-baserad PII-upptäckte som ger 100% reproducerbara resultat. Samma indata, samma utdata—varje gång. Ingen AI, ingen gissning, bara transparent mönsterigenkänning.

How Does PII Detection Work?

PII detection identifies personal data in text using pattern matching and machine learning. anonym.legal uses a hybrid approach:

  1. 1
    Pattern Matching: Regex patterns detect structured data (SSNs, credit cards, IBANs) with checksum validation.
  2. 2
    Named Entity Recognition: NER models identify names, locations, and organizations in 48 languages.
  3. 3
    Context Scoring: Each detection is scored based on surrounding context to minimize false positives.

This hybrid approach detects 285+ entity types while maintaining deterministic, reproducible results — essential for compliance and legal discovery.

Varför Regex, Inte AI?

Vår Strategi

  • 100% reproducerbara resultat
  • Helt granskbara för efterlevnad
  • Ingen träningsdata krävs
  • Transparent beslutsfattande
  • Snabb, förutsägbar prestanda
  • Ingen modellavvikelse över tid

AI/ML Strategier

  • Resultat varierar mellan körningar
  • Svart låda beslutsfattande
  • Kräver träningsdata
  • Svårt att granska
  • Högre beräkningskostnader
  • Modellavvikelse över tid

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use regex instead of AI for PII detection?

Regex-based detection is deterministic and reproducible. The same input always produces the same output. AI/ML models can be unpredictable and may miss or falsely flag data. For compliance, reproducibility matters.

How accurate is the detection?

Our hybrid approach combines regex patterns with Named Entity Recognition (NER) for high accuracy. All patterns include checksum validation where applicable (credit cards, IBANs, SSNs). False positives are minimized through context-aware scoring.

What happens to my data during processing?

Text is sent to our EU-hosted servers (Hetzner, Germany) over TLS 1.3 for analysis. We don't store your data after processing. With Zero-Knowledge auth, we can't even identify which user made the request.

Can I add custom entity types?

Yes! You can create custom recognizers with your own regex patterns and context words. Custom entities support the same operators (replace, mask, hash, encrypt, redact) as built-in types.

How does reversible encryption work?

The Encrypt operator uses AES-256-GCM encryption with your key. Only you can decrypt. This allows re-identification for audits or legal discovery while keeping data protected in transit and storage.

How we test

We run a full check suite on every release.

Human reviewers spot-check the output each week.

We track recall and precision on a labelled set.

Bad runs block the deploy.

What we never do

Plans in plain words

We sell credits, not seats.

One credit covers one short job.

Long jobs use a few credits each.

You can top up at any time.

Unused credits roll over each month.

Who built this

A small team of engineers and lawyers built this.

We ship from Europe and work in the open.

Our founder note spells out why we started.

Where to start

How the parts fit

A browser add-on cleans text inside Chrome.

A Word plug-in handles drafts in Office.

A small desktop tool works on whole folders.

An agent protocol link feeds large models safely.

All four share one core engine and one rule set.

Words from our team

We started this work after a lunch about cookies.

One friend kept getting odd ads on her phone.

We asked why a court file leaked through a draft.

We sketched the first build on a napkin that week.

By month three we had a tiny demo for a friend.

She used it on her first case the next day.

Common questions we hear

Can the tool read scanned PDFs? Yes, with OCR.

Does it work on long files? Yes, in small chunks.

Can I roll my own rule set? Yes, save it as a preset.

Does it run offline? The desktop build runs offline.

Do you keep my files? No, the cloud build wipes after each run.

Will it learn from my work? No, we never train on inputs.

A short tour of the workflow

Upload a file or paste a snippet of prose.

Pick the entities you want gone from the draft.

Choose a method: replace, mask, hash, encrypt, or redact.

Press run and watch the side panel show each hit.

Skim the result and tweak any rule that misfired.

Save the cleaned file or send it to a teammate.
