What is GDPR?#

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It is a European law that protects your personal information. It gives you control over your data and tells companies how they must handle it.

anonym.legal follows GDPR rules to keep your information safe.

How We Handle Your Text#

When you use anonym.legal to find or hide personal information in your text:

  • Your text goes through our system and then it is gone

We only keep basic information about your account, like your email and how many times you used the service.

Where Your Data is Stored#

Your data stays in Europe. We use servers in the European Union. We do not send your data to other countries.

How We Keep Your Data Safe#

We use strong security to protect your information:

If something goes wrong and your data might be at risk:

  1. We will find out what happened
  2. We will fix the problem right away
  3. We will tell you within 72 hours if your data was affected
  4. We will explain what we are doing to make things better

Privacy by Design#

We built anonym.legal with privacy in mind from the start:

  • We only collect what we need - nothing extra
  • We do not store your text - it is processed and then deleted
  • You control your data - you can see it, change it, or delete it
  • We are transparent - this document tells you exactly how we work

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.
