Reference-check notes contain candidate and referee identities plus candid feedback. AI analysis needs the themes, not the people. AnonymizeDocs prepares reviewed copies locally.
Workflow
1. Select the document locally
Choose the PDF or DOCX from your device. The original stays in the browser.
2. Review names and identifiers
Check candidate and referee names plus contact details before anything changes.
3. Keep the content readable
Feedback themes, dates and context remain visible while identity-bearing values become placeholders.
4. Verify and export
Recheck the output, download the anonymized copy, then use it with the AI tool.
What gets reviewed
- Candidate and referee names
- Emails, phones and addresses
- Employer and relationship references
- Custom values you add for a specific check
Stays on this 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.
Limitations: Reference feedback is sensitive; redaction is a preparation step and does not replace hiring policies or legal review.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI work with reference-check notes without personal identifiers?

What stays visible after redaction?
Dates, roles, policies and other non-identity content remain in the exported copy.
Is this suitable for HR records at scale?
Yes, for preparing reviewed copies; original records should still follow your HR and data-protection policies.
