VEIL.AI is at the forefront of privacy-enhancing technologies, transforming sensitive data into safe non-sensitive and high-utility assets. VEIL.AI enables organizations to safely maximize the value of their sensitive and confidential data. Whether for AI/ML training/testing/utilization, internal re-use, sharing, or real-world evidence, VEIL.AI ensures you can get the full value of your data while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and compliance.
AI/ML training data must be safe, without sensitive or personal data. BONSAI -applications anonymize your data, maximizing data value, enabling safe and compliant use.
BONSAI -applications transform sensitive data to high utility anonymous data, retaining statistical properties, enabling demanding downstream analysis, safe data sharing and compliant AI use.
In addition to anonymization, BONSAI structured -application can synthesise structured data, based on original data characteristics, suitable for demanding use cases.
BONSAI text -application is for accurate redaction of personal/confidential information from free text documents. It is especially designed for demanding contexts and smaller languages.
This is a significant achievement. In our study, we could draw the same conclusions from anonymized data as from traditional pseudonymized, individual-level research data.

AI/ML algorithms should be trained with unbiased, high-quality data. At the same time, data privacy is a priority whenever sensitive or personal data is involved. Data privacy is regulated by an increasing number of laws and regulations, including GDPR, the EU AI Act, EHDS, and HIPAA. The way personal or sensitive data is used to train AI/ML algorithms must follow internal compliance requirements and meet external ethical standards and recommendations, such as those from the US NIST.
Data privacy breaches represent a major financial and reputational risk. VEIL.AI BONSAI applications anonymize data while retaining high data utility, enabling the safe use of data for AI development and other downstream use.
VEIL.AI has strong experience in data privacy. VEIL.AI is a Finnish company operating within the European regulatory environment and the framework of GDPR. Why is Finland considered a trailblazer in data privacy?
GDPR entered into force in 2018 and is widely regarded as the global “gold standard” for data privacy legislation. In 2019, Finland became the first European country to introduce legislation governing the secondary use of health data. As a result, a national data permit authority, Findata, was established. Since then, Findata has been interpreting GDPR in the context of sensitive health data use. At the same time, the rapid development of AI is increasing the demand for secondary use of health data.
Therefore, the EU is introducing two key new regulations: the AI Act and the European Health Data Space (EHDS). Finnish legislation and practical experience have served as a blueprint for the development of EHDS and future secondary-use health data frameworks.
VEIL.AI BONSAI applications are designed to comply with Europe’s strict data privacy regulations and provide global organizations with powerful tools for the safe use of sensitive and personal data.
Please contact the VEIL.AI team to discuss deployment on your preferred platform. We also provide native applications for easy installation and integration. Currently, two native applications are available:
BONSAI text is available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace as an Azure Managed Application. This allows you to use BONSAI text within your own Azure environment for free text document redaction.
BONSAI structured is available in the Snowflake Marketplace as a Snowflake Native Application. This enables you to anonymize or synthesise structured data within your own Snowflake environment. You can request a free trial in the link below, or send a contact request to the VEIL.AI team.
Leading organizations trust VEIL.AI for their most sensitive data needs. From global pharmaceutical companies to leading research institutions, our customers rely on BONSAI technology to protect sensitive and personal data.
Maximize the value of your data. Anonymization can unlock safe reuse of internal sensitive data for R&D, AI and commercial use. In addition to maximizing the value of your internal data, anonymization can enable access to real-world data.
Unlock the value of your sensitive data. High quality anonymization can accelerate clinical trial collaboration with industry and enable easier cross-border research collaboration with other research centers.
BONSAI Text is an ideal tool for redacting personal and confidential information from documents before sharing. VEIL.AI is a leading expert in data protection, supporting you with all data privacy challenges.
From creating external control arms for clinical trials to enabling cross-border data sharing, VEIL.AI’s technology has been proven to deliver results across various industries and use cases.
Global life science company Bayer carried out a four-year multi-million-euro development project called Future Clinical Trials (FCT), which utilized AI-enhanced next-generation anonymization from VEIL.AI. Our unique technology enabled the secure and efficient use of high-quality, anonymized data. For the first time, Findata approved the data as GDPR-compliant, allowing its transfer across borders for further enrichment and innovative research.
This case demonstrates:
VEIL.AI’s expertise is essential in the PHEMS project, which focuses on the secure and compliant sharing of pediatric health data across multiple European countries. By combining VEIL.AI’s next-generation anonymization with federated learning, the project allows hospitals to collaborate on sensitive data without the need to transfer raw data between institutions. This innovative approach ensures data privacy and compliance while enabling valuable cross-border research collaborations in health care.
In the Bayer Future Clinical Trials project, VEIL.AI worked with Findata to establish a groundbreaking protocol for verifying the anonymity of sensitive health data. This collaboration set a new standard for GDPR-free data sharing, allowing Bayer to securely transfer anonymized datasets across borders for global research use, which opens up many new possibilities.
VEIL.AI’s technology is designed to provide strong data protection by anonymizing structured data and redacting free-text content. While protecting sensitive data, our solutions preserve the utility and value of anonymized datasets.
BONSAI structured anonymizes or synthesizes structured data while maintaining statistical characteristics and high data utility. By enabling GDPR-compliant privacy protection, it unlocks high-value data use cases.
BONSAI text automates the redaction of personal and confidential information from free-text documents, increasing efficiency and reducing risks when handling or sharing sensitive documents.
Key benefits of our technology
Quality and Privacy: BONSAI structured optimizes data quality at the required privacy level to maximize data utility. BONSAI text automates accurate redaction of personal and confidential information, including organization-specific requirements.
Safety: BONSAI applications operate within your own data environment, ensuring that data never leaves your secure infrastructure. The applications do not rely on LLMs or other external processing.
Efficiency: BONSAI applications are designed for high performance. Their computational efficiency allows BONSAI applications to be integrated seamlessly into modern data pipelines.
BONSAI applications increase efficiency through automation and help you to achieve the best possible quality and utility in anonymized data.
Unlike aggregation-based methods, BONSAI structured maintains data at the individual record level, preserving granular data integrity.
BONSAI structured automatically performs re-identification risk analysis and generates a report. In addition, a data quality analysis compares the anonymized data with the original dataset.
With fine-tuned redaction models and tailored data identification, BONSAI text provides accurate detection and redaction of personal and confidential information.
BONSAI text automatically detects personal information. The application is easy to use and can handle multiple documents at once.
