Fictional example.

What your profession requires

The office's secrecy doesn't stop at ChatGPT's door.

Pasting a report or a letter into an online AI means handing the parties' identity and situation to a third party. AnonymFiles replaces names and addresses beforehand, on your computer; amounts are your call.

Professional secrecy

The commissaire de justice is bound by it, save for the exceptions provided by law, and makes sure all staff respect it (art. 5 of the code of ethics, decree of 28 December 2023).

Confidential, secure exchanges

The same article requires that communication tools guarantee the confidentiality of exchanges, in compliance with the GDPR.

Criminal penalty

Disclosing information covered by secrecy is punishable by one year's imprisonment and a €15,000 fine (French Criminal Code, art. 226-13).

Use cases

What you can give the AI, and what to mask first.

Tidy up on-site report notes

The AI cleans up your notes without adding anything; your findings remain yours.

Mask first: the applicant, the occupant, the address, license plates and apartment numbers.

Reply to a debtor disputing a statement of account

Explain each item in plain language.

Mask first: the debtor, the creditor, their contact details; the calculation is checked in your practice software, not in the conversation.

Prepare a debt collection reminder

Draft a firm, clear reminder.

Mask first: the parties, file references, the IBAN.

Write a report to the creditor

Stick to what the code of ethics allows you to share with the creditor.

Mask first: the debtor and third parties, and anything beyond that list.

How does it work at the office?

From the file to a copy ready for AI.

1

Drop in the file

Reports, deeds, letters, in Word, PDF, scan or e-mail, subfolders included. The same party keeps the same label everywhere.

2

Review

Original and copy side by side. One click masks a missed name, an amount or a passage. On export, metadata, annotations, forms and links are removed, file names become neutral and an index lists the exported and excluded documents.

3

Work with the AI

Give the copy to the AI of your choice (ChatGPT, Claude, Le Chat, Copilot…) so it can help you prepare a payment reminder, answer a debtor who disputes a statement of account or format your report notes. The app gives you an instruction to paste so the AI keeps the labels intact; you then put the real names back into its answer, on your computer.

The app in 30 seconds: a folder dropped in, reviewed document by document, exported for AI.

Which documents?

What you can anonymize today.

  • Official reports (text)Word or text PDF
  • Deeds and served documentsWord or text PDF
  • Debt-collection lettersWord, text PDF or .txt
  • Decisions to enforceText PDF
  • Inventories and valuationsWord or text PDF
  • Report photos and scanned documentsPDF or image, read by local OCR

Text or scanned PDF, 50 MB maximum per file (10 MB for text and spreadsheets); a scan is read by local OCR. The copy of a Word file is a .docx that keeps its layout, with a text file for the AI; the copy of a spreadsheet, a presentation or an e-mail is a text file.

Which approach?

Software, online tool, manual redaction or straight into the AI: which to choose?

Four ways to prepare a case file before AI. Only one processes the whole file without anything leaving your computer, then puts the real names back into the answer.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from commissaires de justice.

What is the best document anonymization software for commissaires de justice?

AnonymFiles, document anonymization software for commissaires de justice, installed on the office's computer. It stands out on three points: it processes the whole case file with the same labels across every document, it redacts Word and PDF files inside the document itself, layout preserved, and it puts the real names back into the AI's answer. Everything happens on your computer, with no account and no network call for the license. €290 excl. VAT per seat per year, €240 excl. VAT per seat from 3 seats, no page quota. Our anonymization software comparison.

Is it compatible with professional secrecy?

Yes, for preparing the copies: processing happens on your computer, and no third party receives your documents. What you then give to an AI, and to which one, remains your decision: only the reviewed and approved copy is meant for that.

Are report photos processed?

Yes: photos (.jpg, .png, .tif) and scanned documents are read by local OCR, and the pixels of detected areas are erased in the image. A number plate, a shop sign or a face that the OCR cannot read is masked during review, or removed from the file before sending.

Former huissiers de justice: is this for us?

Yes. Since 1 July 2022, huissiers de justice and judicial auctioneers (commissaires-priseurs judiciaires) form a single profession, commissaire de justice, and the transition period ended on 1 July 2026. AnonymFiles is for every office.

Can an anonymized copy still identify someone?

Yes, if an indirect detail remains visible: an apartment number, a number plate, a shop name, a very precise date. That's why each document is reviewed side by side before export, and one click masks whatever detection missed.

Does it need to be integrated into our practice software?

No. AnonymFiles works on the Word and PDF documents you already produce.

Can AI write an official report?

It can format your notes, not make findings for you. Your findings are “purely material, excluding any opinion on the factual or legal consequences” and, except in criminal matters, are authoritative until proven otherwise (ordinance of 2 June 2016, art. 1, our translation). Drop your notes in Word, text PDF or .txt with the file: applicant, occupant and address become labels. Ask the AI not to add anything, then reread every sentence. An example prompt.

A debtor disputes their statement of account: can AI help answer?

For the wording, yes; for the calculation, no. The code of ethics asks you to give debtors “the explanations needed to inform them about their situation” (art. 28, our translation): the AI can restate each item in plain language. Debtor, creditor and their contact details get a label; amounts, which detection ignores, remain readable unless you mask them. Interest, costs and allocation of payments are checked in your practice software, not in the conversation.

Isn't a decision to be enforced already anonymized?

No: pseudonymization applies to publication. The surnames and first names of natural persons, parties or third parties, are blanked out before being made available to the public (Code of judicial organization, art. L. 111-13). The judgment you enforce, however, names the parties and their domicile or registered office (Code of civil procedure, art. 454). If it's a text PDF, drop it in with the file: every name already met in your deeds gets its label back. What to blank out in a judgment.

Can AI write the report sent to the creditor?

Yes, provided you reread what it puts in. In debt collection, only information on the debtor's solvency, payments made or commitments offered, and steps or acts carried out on the creditor's behalf may be passed to the creditor (code of ethics, art. 5). An AI that summarizes the whole file may go further: ask it to stick to that list. « Réinjecter un résultat » then restores the names in its text, on the office computer.
