About Us — Our Mission

Making privacy protection accessible, transparent, and reliable for everyone.

Our Mission

We believe privacy protection shouldn't be complicated or expensive. cloak.business was built to give organizations of all sizes access to enterprise-grade PII detection and anonymization tools.

In a world where data breaches make headlines daily and privacy regulations like GDPR demand accountability, we provide a simple, transparent solution that just works.

Deterministic regex patterns for structured data, proven ML models for names and organizations. Transparent, auditable results you can trust for regulatory compliance.

Our Technology Philosophy

Deterministic Detection

Regex patterns for structured data (emails, SSNs, credit cards) are 100% reproducible. ML-based NER for names provides consistent, auditable results.

German Infrastructure

All data stays in Germany on ISO 27001-certified servers. No surprise jurisdiction issues. EU data residency guaranteed.

Privacy by Design

We never store your original text. Processing happens in memory on our own servers in Germany. Your data is never sent to third-party providers, and never used for training or analytics.

Built on Microsoft Presidio

cloak.business is built on Microsoft Presidio, an open-source data protection and de-identification SDK. We've wrapped Presidio with a modern web interface, API, and enterprise features.

This foundation gives us battle-tested PII detection algorithms while allowing us to focus on user experience, security, and compliance features.

Our Values

Transparency

We're open about how our technology works, what we do with your data, and how we price our services.

Quality

We follow ISO 27001 standards and host on certified infrastructure. We continuously improve our detection accuracy and security measures.

Accessibility

Privacy protection should be available to everyone. That's why we offer a generous free tier with no credit card required.

Reliability

Deterministic results you can count on. Structured data detection is 100% reproducible. NLP-based name detection includes confidence scores for human-in-the-loop review, so you always know what's a pattern match vs. a model prediction.
