How masking works
Personal data is detected on the server and replaced with placeholders; the AI only sees the masked text, and the original values are restored on your screen.
- 1When you press Anonymize, the text is sent to Eksen's servers for personal-data detection. Names, ID and account numbers, contact details and addresses are found.
- 2Each finding is replaced with a placeholder labelled by type (example: [Full Name 1]).
- 3You check the masked version, add anything missing and confirm. Only the placeholder text is sent to the AI.
- 4When the output reaches your screen, placeholders are restored to the original values; copying and downloading also use the original values. Hover over a masked value to see the original.
Vessel names and corporate identities
Vessel names are needed for legal analysis, so automatic detection doesn't mask them; you can mask one by hand if needed. Voyage Screening and Sanctions Screening don't apply masking, because screening works on the real names.
Eksen Mask
Anonymize a document on its own: personal data is detected and masked, and you download the masked copy to use wherever you need.

How it works
1Enter text or a document
Court decision, pleading, correspondence — PDF/DOCX or plain text.
2Data is detected
The engine finds personal data; you preview, add or remove labels.
3Masked document
Safe to send to third-party tools; copy or download. Your text is not stored.
Limits
Automatic detection isn't always complete; it can miss an item or add an unneeded mask. That is why the masked version is shown to you before sending, and manual correction is always available.
