Anonymize a settlement agreement before AI review.

Select the agreement locally, review party names and settlement references, replace accepted values with placeholders, verify the export, then share only the anonymized copy with AI.

For lawyers, mediators and parties reviewing settlements with AI.

Why this workflow matters

Keep the useful context. Remove the unnecessary identity.

Settlement agreements tie together parties, amounts and case references. AI can help explain clauses, but the identities and figures should stay controlled. AnonymizeDocs prepares a reviewed copy locally.

The goal is a working copy that still makes sense to an AI tool: relationships stay consistent, while accepted names, contacts, addresses and document-specific identifiers become controlled replacements.

A practical sequence

From original file to AI-ready copy.

Four checkpoints
01

Select the document locally

Choose the PDF or DOCX from your device. The original stays in the browser.

02

Review names and identifiers

Check party names, amounts and case references before anything changes.

03

Keep the content readable

Clauses, dates and payment terms remain visible while identity-bearing values become placeholders.

04

Verify and export

Recheck the output, download the anonymized copy, then use it with the AI tool.

Document-specific review

What gets checked before export?

The detector suggests candidates; you decide what changes. For this workflow, start with the fields below and add custom findings when the document contains a unique name, project, matter or identifier.

Party names and counsel references Settlement amounts and payment references Case numbers, courts and addresses Custom values you add for a specific agreement

Privacy boundary

What stays on your device.

  • The original document is not uploaded to AnonymizeDocs.
  • Extracted text, findings and replacements remain in the browser session.
  • Account and purchase data are separate from document content.

Human checkpoint

What still needs your judgment.

No detector can guarantee every identifier is found; redaction is a preparation step, not legal advice.

A verified export confirms accepted values were handled. It does not promise that an automated detector found every sensitive detail.

What a useful output looks like

Readable enough for analysis. Safer to share.

Stable placeholders let the AI distinguish one party from another without receiving the original names. Keep the clauses, dates and relationships the task needs; replace the details that identify the people, companies or matter.

Before you share the copy

Questions people ask about this workflow.

Can AI review a settlement agreement without the real names?

Yes. Names and identifiers are replaced with consistent placeholders while the document's structure and content remain readable.

Will the document still make sense after redaction?

Yes. Clauses, dates and numbers that are not identity-bearing remain in the exported copy.

Is this a substitute for professional review?

No. AnonymizeDocs is a preparation tool, not legal advice or a guarantee that every identifier has been found.
