De uitdaging

Onderzoeksinstellingen staan voor spanningen tussen gegevensdeling en privacy:

  • •Onderzoeksethiek vereist bescherming van de privacy van deelnemers
  • •Samenwerking vereist gegevensdeling tussen instellingen
  • •Longitudinale studies vereisen consistente pseudoniemen
  • •Publicaties mogen geen identificeerbare informatie bevatten

De oplossing

Consistente, reproduceerbare pseudonimisatie voor onderzoeksgegevens.

De oplossing

Consistente ID's

Hetzelfde pseudoniem voor dezelfde identifier over documenten heen. Ideaal voor longitudinale studies.

Reproduceerbaar

Dezelfde gegevens opnieuw verwerken geeft identieke resultaten.

Veilig delen

Deel gegevenssets met medewerkers zonder de privacy van deelnemers in gevaar te brengen.

Onderzoeksformaten

Ondersteuning voor CSV, JSON en gestructureerde gegevens voor gangbare onderzoeksformaten.

Research Applications

From clinical trials to social science surveys, anonym.legal supports the full research data lifecycle.

Data Sharing & Publication

  • De-identify datasets for open science repositories
  • Anonymize quotes and excerpts in publications
  • Safe cross-institution collaboration

Longitudinal Studies

  • Reversible encryption for approved re-identification
  • Consistent hashing to link records across time points
  • Full audit trails for IRB documentation
Unique Feature

Reversible for Approved Re-identification

Unlike permanent redaction, anonym.legal's reversible encryption lets you decrypt anonymized data when your IRB approves re-identification—essential for longitudinal research, follow-up studies, and data linking.

  • Follow-up Contacts: Re-identify participants for study continuation
  • Data Linking: Match anonymized records across datasets
  • IRB Documentation: Full audit trail for ethics compliance

Limitations / Important note

  • De-identification reduces but does not eliminate re-identification risk; assess residual risk for your dataset and release context.
  • Detection is probabilistic; high-stakes outputs should be human-reviewed. This is not legal advice.
