Why it matters

Why anonymize before you paste

  • A prompt is a copy you no longer control

    Once text is submitted it is stored and processed under the provider's terms. Retention, training use and access by staff depend on your plan and settings; check the provider's data controls rather than assuming.

  • Most tasks do not need the real names

    Summarize this email, translate this contract, rewrite this complaint: the model does the same job with Person 1 and Company A. Only the mapping table needs the originals, and that stays with you.

  • Third-party data is not yours to share

    Client names, colleagues' emails and customer IDs belong to other people. Replacing them keeps you inside your NDA, employment terms and GDPR or KVKK obligations.

  • Restoring names takes seconds

    Paste the answer and the mapping into the de-anonymizer and every label turns back into the original value, so the anonymization costs you almost nothing.

How to do it

Four steps, all in your browser

  1. 1

    Upload the file or paste the text

    Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, CSV, JSON, HTML, Markdown or plain text. Up to 10 files, 50 MB each. The file is opened in your browser tab and never sent anywhere.

  2. 2

    Choose the rule

    Decide how each category is rewritten: labels like Person 1 / Company A, realistic fake values, masking or redaction. Optionally enable smart detection and add words to your dictionary.

  3. 3

    Review what will change

    Names, companies, emails, phone numbers, IDs and IBANs are listed with their replacements. Turn items off, add missed ones, correct a category. Nothing changes until you confirm.

  4. 4

    Download and paste into the AI

    You get the same file back, a Markdown version to paste into the chat, and a mapping table. Paste the AI's answer into the de-anonymizer to put the original names back.

What to replace

Checklist for this domain

The tool detects most of these automatically. Add the rest to your dictionary so they are replaced consistently.

  • Person names (colleagues, clients, candidates)
  • Company and brand names
  • Email addresses and phone numbers
  • Customer, order and ticket IDs
  • IBANs, card numbers, invoice numbers
  • Street addresses and locations
  • URLs to internal systems
  • Dates that identify an event, if the task allows

Questions

Common questions

Does ChatGPT keep what I paste?

That depends on your plan and settings. Check the provider's data controls and retention policy. Anonymizing first means the question does not matter as much: what is stored contains no real names.

Will the answer still make sense with placeholders?

Yes. Models handle labels such as Person 1 or Company A well. Choose realistic fake values if the text must read naturally, for example for translations.

How do I get the real names back?

Download the mapping table when you anonymize. Paste the answer and the mapping into the de-anonymizer; the labels are replaced with the original values in your browser.

Is my document uploaded to Unformation?

No. Detection and replacement run in your browser; there are 0 network requests during processing. Only the anonymized text you choose to paste ever leaves your device.
