GDPR Compliance
anonym.legal is designed with GDPR compliance at its core: data minimization, purpose limitation, EU data residency (Germany), and ISO 27001:2022-aligned controls.
Data Minimization & Purpose Limitation
Text submitted for analysis/anonymization is processed in memory and not stored. We use your data solely to provide the service—no training on your data, no secondary use.
EU Data Residency
All processing occurs on ISO 27001-certified Hetzner data centers in Germany. No transfers outside the EU—eliminating Schrems II concerns.
Security of Processing (Article 32)
AES-256-GCM encryption at rest (sensitive data), TLS 1.2+ in transit, RBAC, 2FA support, audit logs (no raw text), and ISO 27001:2022-aligned controls.
Data Subject Rights
- Access: request a copy of your personal data
- Rectification: correct inaccurate data
- Erasure: delete your account and associated data
- Portability: export data in a portable format
- Restriction/Object: limit or object to certain processing
- Withdraw consent: opt out of marketing at any time
To exercise your rights, please use our contact form and select "Privacy Inquiries".
Data Processing Agreement (Article 28)
Our standard DPA is available for customers. It covers processor obligations, subprocessors, TOMs, breach notification, and audit rights.
Subprocessors
Hetzner (hosting, Germany), Stripe (payments), PayPal (payments). DPAs and SCCs (as applicable) are in place.

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.
