Anti-Money-Laundering (AML / GwG)

AML covers the diligence, record-keeping, and reporting duties imposed on obliged firms and individuals by the German Money Laundering Act (GwG); the core provisions are general diligence under § 10 GwG, suspicious-activity reporting under § 43 GwG, and record-keeping under § 8 GwG. AML diligence processes ID documents, transaction records, and suspicion files containing highly sensitive personal data. anonym.legal pseudonymizes that data GDPR-compliantly so KYC files and case documentation can be prepared internally, used in training, and shared with service providers without unnecessarily exposing the data subjects.

By the numbers

When this doesn't apply

  • Ob die getroffenen Sorgfaltsmaßnahmen den geldwäscherechtlichen Anforderungen nach dem GwG genügen, bewertet anonym.legal nicht; diese fachliche Einschätzung obliegt dem bestellten Geldwäschebeauftragten.
  • Die gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Verdachtsmeldung an die FIU nach § 43 GwG sowie die Mitteilung an das Transparenzregister nach § 20 GwG müssen mit Klardaten erfolgen; anonym.legal unterstützt ausschließlich die interne Vorbereitung und Dokumentation.

How we test

We run a full check suite on every release.

Each surface gets its own sweep script and report.

Human reviewers spot-check the output each week.

We track recall and precision on a labelled set.

Bad runs block the deploy.

What we never do

  • We never sell your information to third parties.
  • We never train models on what you upload.
  • We never keep your work after you delete it.
  • We never share keys with any outside firm.
  • We never run ads inside the product.

Plans in plain words

We sell credits, not seats.

One credit covers one short job.

Long jobs use a few credits each.

You can top up at any time.

Unused credits roll over each month.

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.
