Fictional example.

What your profession requires

Your practice's secrecy doesn't stop at ChatGPT's door.

Insolvency proceedings name dozens of employees and creditors. Pasting them into an online AI means handing them to a third party. AnonymFiles replaces them beforehand, on your computer.

Professional secrecy

Administrateurs and mandataires judiciaires are bound by it for everything they learn in their work (professional rules, rule 212.1, order of 18 July 2018), under the conditions of art. 226-13 of the Criminal Code.

Your staff too

The practitioner requires staff and trainees to respect professional secrecy “as a contractual obligation” (rule 213.6, our translation).

Confidentiality of prevention procedures

Anyone involved in a conciliation or an ad hoc mandate, or who learns of it through their functions, is bound by confidentiality (Commercial Code, art. L. 611-15).

GDPR

Employees, creditors, managers: process only the data that is necessary (data minimization principle, GDPR art. 5.1.c).

Use cases

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

Summarize a proceeding

Sum up the history, the difficulties and the state of liabilities.

Mask first: the debtor company, its directors, employees and creditors; the docket number and trading name (one click).

Compare takeover bids

Lay out the bids along the French Commercial Code's grid (art. L. 642-2).

Mask first: each bidder and its advisers, renamed if needed [ORGANISATION_OFFRE_A]; assessing the bids remains your job.

Prepare a report to the court

Structure the report and rephrase technical passages.

Mask first: references to employees' health or union mandates (special categories, GDPR art. 9), to select in the original.

Reply to creditors

Draft standard replies on the state of the proceeding.

Mask first: the creditors, the amounts of their claims, bank details.

How does it work at the practice?

From the proceedings to a copy ready for AI.

1

Drop in the entire proceedings

Reports, applications, letters, in Word, PDF, scan or e-mail, subfolders included. The same creditor 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 summarize proceedings or prepare a report to the court. 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.

  • Reports to the court, applications to the supervising judgeWord or text PDF
  • Takeover bids, draft plansWord or text PDF
  • Letters to creditors and employeesWord, text PDF or .txt
  • Opening judgments and decisionsText PDF
  • Statements and lists of claimsWord or text PDF
  • Excel tables, claim schedules in spreadsheets.xlsx, .xls or .csv, one table per sheet
  • Scanned proofs of claimPDF 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 insolvency practitioners.

What is the best document anonymization software for insolvency practitioners?

AnonymFiles, document anonymization software for administrateurs and mandataires judiciaires, installed on your 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. It processes a proceeding of several dozen documents in one go, including reports, applications, takeover bids and emails. €290 excl. VAT per seat per year, €240 excl. VAT per seat from 3 seats, no page quota. Our anonymization software comparison.

Does it suit files with several hundred documents?

Yes: you drop in the entire proceedings, subfolders included, Word, PDF, scans, e-mails and spreadsheets, and each person or organization keeps the same label everywhere. Allow a few seconds per scanned page for OCR.

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.

Can an anonymized copy still identify someone?

Yes, if an indirect detail remains visible: the date of the judgment and the court, published in the BODACC, the docket number, a trade name, a site address, a unique job title. That's why each document is reviewed side by side before export, and one click masks whatever detection missed.

What about conciliation or ad hoc mandate files?

With particular care: the confidentiality of article L. 611-15 of the Commercial Code is added to your professional secrecy. The company, its managers, the banks and the other creditors become labels, identical from one document to the next; the amounts of bank facilities or debt write-offs are masked with one click. Then reread what would allow the company to be recognized without its name: business, location, headcount. Conciliation and AI: the precautions.

The proceedings are published in the BODACC: why mask the debtor?

Because the published notice doesn't say what your file contains. It gives the debtor's name, registered office, identification number, business and the date of the judgment (Commercial Code, art. R. 621-8). Your reports add employees, creditors, amounts and the causes of the difficulties, all covered by your secrecy: “everything that came to the knowledge” of the practitioner in their work (professional rules for administrateurs and mandataires judiciaires, rule 212.1, our translation). Leaving the debtor visible ties all of this to proceedings anyone can look up in the BODACC.

Can AI compare takeover bids?

Yes, on the grid set by the Commercial Code: every bid states in particular the assets, rights and contracts taken over, the price, the level and prospects of employment, and the performance guarantees (art. L. 642-2). Each bidder, its managers and its advisers get a label; rename it if needed, for instance [ORGANISATION_OFFRE_A]. Prices stay visible unless you select them. The AI builds the table; assessing the bids remains your job.

What about employees' health or trade union information?

It needs particular care: the GDPR classes data concerning health and trade union membership as special categories, whose processing is prohibited save for exceptions (art. 9). A sick leave, an unfitness for work or a union mandate can be enough to recognize an employee. Detection isn't designed for these mentions: select them in the original and they are masked throughout the file. If the task doesn't require these documents, don't include them.
