About anonym.legal
Making privacy protection accessible, transparent, and reliable for everyone.
Our Mission
We believe privacy protection shouldn't be complicated or expensive. anonym.legal was built to give organizations of all sizes access to enterprise-grade PII detection and anonymization tools.
In a world where data breaches make headlines daily and privacy regulations like GDPR demand accountability, we provide a simple, transparent solution that just works.
Deterministic regex patterns for structured data, proven ML models for names and organizations. Transparent, auditable results you can trust for regulatory compliance.
Our Technology Philosophy
Deterministic Detection
Regex patterns for structured data (emails, SSNs, credit cards) are 100% reproducible. ML-based NER for names provides consistent, auditable results.
German Infrastructure
All data stays in Germany on Hetzner's ISO 27001-certified servers. No surprise jurisdiction issues. EU data residency guaranteed.
Privacy by Design
We never store your original text. Processing happens in memory, and your data is never used for training or analytics.
Built on Microsoft Presidio
anonym.legal is built on Microsoft Presidio, an open-source data protection and de-identification SDK. We've wrapped Presidio with a modern web interface, API, and enterprise features.
This foundation gives us battle-tested PII detection algorithms while allowing us to focus on user experience, security, and compliance features.

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

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.
