Anonix

Public administration

AI for official notices and applications. Without a single citizen name reaching the AI provider.

Ministries, state agencies and municipalities process citizen data of the highest protection class. At the same time, the German Online Access Act requires digitalisation. Many data protection officers block any direct connection to US AI services. A dilemma that can be solved technically.

The challenge

Why AI has hardly been permitted here so far.

Relevant regulations

  • State data protection laws
  • BSI baseline protection
  • Online Access Act (OZG)
  1. 01Citizen data is subject to BSI baseline protection and classified-information rules.
  2. 02Registration data, benefit applications, building permits and tax data must not reach third parties.
  3. 03Police and security authorities process investigation data and witness protection information.
  4. 04State data protection laws severely restrict cloud AI involving personal data.

Anonix in practice

What the AI provider actually sees.

The example uses fictitious demonstration data. The placeholders show which information Anonix detects and replaces.

Instruction to the AIRewrite this official notice in simple, citizen-friendly language.

Nothing changes for your staff.

Your software calls the AI as usual. Anonix sits in between, replaces the personal data and puts it back into the response. Integration consists of two changed lines: API address and API key. This works with OpenAI, Claude and Gemini as well as with self-hosted models.
