What is SelekTOR?

SelekTOR is an open source Windows application for anonymizing personal data in datasets to facilitate sharing data while protecting privacy. It allows users to configure rules that define how different data types like names, email addresses, social security numbers etc. should be masked or transformed to remove identifying information.

Key features of SelekTOR include:

• Supports processing CSV, plaintext, XML, JSON, Excel and database files
• Masks text fields using techniques like hashing, shuffling, substitution, etc.
• Handles dates, numbers and unstructured text
• Anonymizes entire directories or drives for bulk processing
• Provides pre-defined rulesets for locations, professions, names etc.
• Allows custom JavaScript-based rules to be added
• Preserves data formats, types and basic statistics after anonymization
• Free and open source software written in C#

SelekTOR helps researchers, government agencies, healthcare providers and other organizations share useful data with external parties in a GDPR and HIPAA compliant manner by irrevocably de-identifying personal information. The wide range of data formats supported, customizable rules and bulk processing capabilities make it useful for anonymizing large, complex datasets prior to sharing or publication.
