====== Fast anonymization with PMA.start ======


==== How to Use the Anonymize Function ====

Protecting sensitive medical data and the identity of a biopsy's owner is not only ethical/polite, it is a legal responsibility.\\

Many of our software have features to hide potentially identifying information a slide may contain, such as by [[https://docs.pathomation.com/my/doku.php?id=how_to_share_a_slide|hiding the barcode when sharing slides on My Pathomation]], or [[https://docs.pathomation.com/pathotrainer/doku.php?id=cases_and_case_collections|hiding labels and replacing filenames with Captions in Pathotrainer]].

However, the best and safest practice with personally identifiable information is //**"if you don't need it, don't upload it in the first place"**//

That's where the Anonymize tab in our free desktop viewer [[https://www.pathomation.com/pma-start/|PMA.start]] comes in. \\
Simply go to the to tab, select the slides you want to anonymize, and run the program. It's done in seconds.\\
