Anonymization and Pseudonymization
Prevent Data Breaches
From data risk to GDPR compliance: Anonymize with intelligence.
Anonymization of Personal Data:
Essential Protection Against Data Breaches
Anonymization is a proven technique where personal data is permanently modified so that it can no longer be traced back to specific individuals. This method provides organizations with effective protection against costly data breaches.
Technical & Reliable
EasyData’s advanced anonymization platform automatically scans all your assigned data streams and identifies GDPR-sensitive information in real-time. Our proven algorithm transforms personal data directly into completely anonymous datasets, without manual intervention. At the same time, our dashboard provides access to the details of the configured anonymization process. With this anonymization solution, you’re protected 24/7 against data breaches.
Proven Results from Various Implementations
Key Advantages of EasyData Anonymization
🔒 GDPR-Compliant
Automatic compliance with Dutch and European privacy legislation. Our solution meets all GDPR requirements and prevents substantial fines.
🌍 Dutch Datacenter
Your data stays within the Netherlands. No dependency on American tech giants like ChatGPT. Complete control over your sensitive information.
🚀 AI-Driven Recognition
Our machine learning models recognize not only exact data, but also variations, spelling errors, and incomplete information in documents.
📊 Data Remains Usable
Important patterns and relationships are preserved. Anonymized data can still be used for analysis, research, and business processes.
⚡ Fast Processing
Process millions of documents in 24 hours. From manual redaction with a marker to automated anonymization in seconds.
🔧 Customization Possible
Special models for technical drawings, medical records, financial documents, or other specific document types.
How Does Smart Anonymization Work?
Intelligent Document Recognition
Our anonymization software begins by interpreting the submitted document. An invoice requires different anonymization than an insurance contract. For an invoice, customer name and bank account number are sensitive, while for insurance contracts the focus is on personal data and signatures.
The EasyVerify verification system ensures that users can verify whether the anonymization process has been performed correctly. This unique online verification module provides insight into what data has been modified and why.
Advanced Recognition Capabilities
EasyData technology not only recognizes GDPR-sensitive data, but is also smart enough to detect variations and incomplete information. For example, when a name is not spelled correctly or an address is incomplete.
Modern Anonymization Techniques
Pseudonymization: Recognition with Traceability
With pseudonymization, sensitive data is replaced by pseudonyms or codes that can still be traced within your organization via a secure key. This is ideal for situations where later access to the original data is important, for example for customer service or legal procedures.
Differential Privacy: Statistical Protection
This advanced method ensures that you can extract useful information from datasets (such as averages or trends) without individual persons being identifiable. It’s comparable to sharing salary data where no one can see which salary belongs to which person.
Synthetic Data: Artificial Datasets
Our algorithms can generate completely artificial datasets that show the same patterns and trends as your original data, but where all individual data is fictitious. Perfect for research, testing, and data science projects.
Practical Applications for Your Organization
🏛️ Processing FOI Requests
Automatically anonymize documents for Freedom of Information requests. No more manual redaction, but automated processing that meets all legal requirements.
🔬 Research and Analysis
Make datasets available for research purposes without privacy risks. Retain statistical value while individuals remain unrecognizable.
🏥 Medical Data Processing
Anonymize patient data for medical research. Special models recognize medical terminology and optimally protect sensitive information.
📋 Technical Documentation
Technical drawings can also be anonymized. Our specialized algorithms recognize confidential information in CAD files and technical diagrams.

Our solution not only prevents data breaches, but also helps comply with compliance requirements such as GDPR and future regulations like the AI Act.
From Manual Redaction to AI Anonymization
The history of anonymization begins in the early days of digital data processing. When EasyData started with document processing in 1999, privacy information was still manually redacted or addressed with simple text replacement.
The arrival of big data and machine learning in the 2010s made more advanced anonymization possible. Software could not only recognize exact data, but also patterns and variations in complex datasets such as medical records or financial transactions.
Today, with stricter privacy laws like GDPR and increasing cyber threats, anonymization has become an essential tool. EasyData combines 25+ years of experience with the latest AI techniques to help organizations safely handle sensitive data.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anonymization
What is the difference between anonymization and pseudonymization?
Anonymization removes or replaces personal data in such a way that it can never be traced back. Pseudonymization replaces data with codes that can still be traced within your organization via a secure key. Pseudonymization is ideal when you need later access to original data.
How does EasyData guarantee GDPR compliance?
Our solution runs in Dutch datacenters and meets all GDPR requirements. We implement privacy by design, have transparent processes, and offer complete control over your data. All processing takes place within EU borders without dependency on American tech companies.
Can anonymized data still be used for analysis?
Yes, that’s precisely the power of our smart anonymization. Important patterns, trends, and statistical properties are preserved. You can use anonymized datasets for research, machine learning, and business analysis without privacy risks.
What document types can be anonymized?
EasyData can anonymize virtually all document types: PDFs, Word documents, Excel files, technical drawings, medical records, contracts, invoices, and even scanned paper documents. Our AI models are trained on various document formats and can be customized for specific sectors.
