Patient Data Protection
Comprehensive detection of healthcare-specific identifiers including medical licenses, ICD codes, NDC codes, and national health identifiers across multiple countries. Zero text storage ensures patient data is processed in-memory and immediately discarded.
Why Healthcare Needs Specialized Anonymization
Patient Privacy Requirements
Healthcare organizations handle some of the most sensitive personal data: medical histories, diagnoses, prescriptions, and treatment records. Patient identifiers must be comprehensively detected and protected across all document types.
Diverse Identifier Formats
Patient data includes not just names and dates of birth, but country-specific health identifiers such as UK NHS numbers, US DEA numbers, Australian Medicare numbers, and Italian health cards, each with unique formats.
Clinical Trial Data Sharing
Research institutions need to anonymize patient data before sharing clinical trial results. Batch processing of large document sets with consistent, reproducible anonymization is required for regulatory submissions.
Restricted Network Environments
Many healthcare facilities operate in restricted network environments where data must not leave the internal network. Processing tools need to function within these constraints while maintaining security.
Regulatory Compliance
Healthcare data protection is governed by multiple regulations including GDPR in Europe. Organizations need platforms that can demonstrate compliance through audit trails and documented security measures.
Multi-Format Documents
Patient records exist across multiple file formats: PDF reports, Word referral letters, Excel patient lists, and CSV data exports. Anonymization must work consistently across all document types.
How anonymize.solutions Protects Patient Data
Healthcare-Specific Entity Detection
Dedicated detection for MEDICAL_LICENSE, NRP, ICD_CODE, NDC_CODE, UK_NHS, US_DEA_NUMBER, AU_MEDICARE, NZ_NHI, IT_HEALTH_CARD, and JP_HEALTH_INSURANCE. The HEALTHCARE entity group enables bulk detection of all medical identifiers in a single configuration.
Zero Text Storage
Patient data is processed in real-time, in-memory only. Text is never persisted to disk or database. Results are returned immediately and source text is discarded. Only basic usage metrics are retained, with no personal information from submitted text stored.
EU Data Sovereignty
All processing occurs in Hetzner's ISO 27001-certified data centers in Germany. No US-based infrastructure components in the data-processing path. No third-party APIs involved in text processing. No data transfer outside the EU.
Enterprise-Grade Encryption
AES-256-GCM encryption at rest for sensitive database fields and operation history. TLS 1.3 for all data in transit. The Enterprise tier adds zero-knowledge authentication (Argon2id + XChaCha20-Poly1305) and E2E encryption where the server never sees original document content.
Batch Processing for Clinical Data
Process multiple patient documents simultaneously. The Professional tier supports batch processing up to 5,000 items on the Business plan. The Enterprise tier offers FileDrop with CSV summary reports, ZIP export, and JSON metadata for audit documentation.
Desktop App for Restricted Environments
The Tauri 2.x desktop application (Windows, macOS, Linux) includes an encrypted local vault with AES-256-GCM encryption and Argon2id key derivation. Available across all plans for processing in environments with limited network connectivity.
HIPAA Medical Preset
Built-in HIPAA Medical preset provides pre-configured entity and operator combinations specifically designed for healthcare information anonymization. Ready to use without manual configuration of individual entity types.
Comprehensive Patient Identifiers
Beyond medical-specific entities, detection covers all common patient identifiers: PERSON names, DATE_TIME (dates of birth), LOCATION (addresses), PHONE_NUMBER, EMAIL_ADDRESS, and government IDs across multiple jurisdictions for international patient data.
Healthcare Entity Types
Dedicated healthcare entities for medical identifier detection, plus universal and regional entities for comprehensive patient data coverage.

Explore EnterpriseA Note on HIPAA Certification
anonymize.solutions is not HIPAA certified. While the platform provides a built-in HIPAA Medical preset and implements strong security measures including AES-256-GCM encryption, TLS 1.3, zero text storage, and EU data sovereignty, the platform has not undergone formal HIPAA certification. Healthcare organizations subject to HIPAA should evaluate whether the platform's security architecture meets their specific compliance requirements. The platform is GDPR compliant with a DPIA conducted, and infrastructure is ISO 27001 certified.
