# Draft local processing notice

This draft requires legal approval before patient use.

MIKA De-ID Local processes the selected document on the user's computer. The application does not upload the source document merely because it was selected or analyzed. It creates a new modified copy after the user reviews every page and chooses a destination.

The application attempts to detect direct identifiers, but automated detection can miss information. The user must inspect every page and may add or remove redaction regions. A cleaned copy can still contain sensitive medical information and can still be linked to a person through an account, case, exact date, rare clinical history, or other information.

The source file is not modified or deleted. The cleaned copy is not an unchanged original and may not preserve a digital signature. It is intended for medical-navigation workflows, not public distribution, diagnosis, treatment, legal proof, or replacement of the source medical record.

Production text must identify the operator, support contact, software version, data flow, retention, deletion, incident process, and applicable consent basis.

## Open-source clarification

MIKA De-ID Local is open-source software under GNU AGPLv3, copyright NPO NT. Open-source publication applies to the program and its build materials. It does not publish, license, or authorize disclosure of a patient's source document, cleaned document, medical history, account, or dataset. Real medical material must never be attached to a public issue or committed to the source repository.
