Select the contract PDF or DOCX locally, review suggested identities and numbers, choose placeholders or permanent redaction for accepted findings, verify the export, then share only the reviewed copy with AI.
For lawyers, legal ops, freelancers and small-business owners who review contracts with AI.
Why this workflow matters
Keep the useful context. Remove the unnecessary identity.
Contracts contain parties, addresses, registration numbers and commercial terms that an AI review task rarely needs in raw form. AnonymizeDocs helps you keep the structure and relationships while replacing identity-bearing values.
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 contract locally
Choose the PDF or DOCX from your device. The file stays in the browser while its text structure is read.
02
Review parties and identifiers
Check names, organizations, addresses, registration numbers and case references before anything changes.
03
Preserve commercial relationships
Repeated values use stable placeholders, so clauses like 'the Client shall' keep making sense after replacement.
04
Verify and share
Recheck the searchable text, download the reviewed copy, then upload that copy to 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 roles (Client, Supplier, Landlord) Addresses, registration numbers and case references Emails, phone numbers and account references Custom values you add for a specific contract
Privacy boundary
What stays on your device.
The original contract 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 that every private detail has been found. Handwritten amendments, scanned pages and embedded images need OCR and careful human review. Permanent redaction only covers accepted findings in the exported format and is 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.

Local selection and review checkpoints.Output comparison and the boundary that still needs human verification.
Will the contract still be readable after redaction?
Yes. Accepted values are replaced with consistent placeholders such as [PERSON] or [ORGANIZATION], so the structure and relationships of the contract stay understandable.
Can I redact only some values and keep others?
Yes. Every finding is presented for review; you can accept, ignore or edit each value before export.
Is redaction a substitute for legal review?
No. AnonymizeDocs is a document preparation tool, not legal advice or a guarantee that every identifier has been found.
