Document anonymization for municipalities: 2026 practical guide
Municipalities manage license applications, minutes, sanction proceedings and social services documentation. Automated anonymization enables compliance with transparency laws and GDPR without overwhelming municipal services.

- IDs, passports and identity documents.
- Addresses, phones and email addresses.
- Cadastral data and property references.
