Applicant Management

Applicant management covers the data-protection-compliant handling of applicant data after the selection process — in particular AGG-compliant retention, timely deletion under § 26 BDSG read with Art. 17 GDPR, and handling data-subject rights of rejected applicants. Applicant management documents selection decisions, rejections, and talent pools containing applicant personal data. anonym.legal pseudonymizes that data with GDPR and AGG in mind so decisions can be documented to audit standards and pools can be analyzed without retaining applicant identities beyond what the purpose requires.

By the numbers

When this doesn't apply

  • anonym.legal prüft nicht, ob die Aufbewahrung oder Löschung von Bewerberdaten AGG- und DSGVO-konform erfolgt, und überwacht keine Löschfristen — die Entscheidung über Aufbewahrungsdauer und Löschzeitpunkt liegt bei Ihnen.
  • Die Software unterstützt keine automatisierte Verwaltung von Einwilligungen für Talentpools; die datenschutzrechtliche Grundlage für eine verlängerte Speicherung im Bewerberpool ist separat zu prüfen und zu dokumentieren.
  • Für mündliche Absagen oder nicht dokumentierte Auswahlentscheidungen kann die Pseudonymisierungsfunktion nicht greifen — sie setzt schriftliche oder digitale Unterlagen voraus.

We track recall and precision on a labelled set.

Bad runs block the deploy.

One credit covers one short job.

Long jobs use a few credits each.

You can top up at any time.

Unused credits roll over each month.

Who built this

A small team of engineers and lawyers built this.

We ship from Europe and work in the open.

Our founder note spells out why we started.

Where to start

How the parts fit

A browser add-on cleans text inside Chrome.

A Word plug-in handles drafts in Office.

A small desktop tool works on whole folders.

An agent protocol link feeds large models safely.

All four share one core engine and one rule set.

Words from our team

We started this work after a lunch about cookies.

One friend kept getting odd ads on her phone.

We asked why a court file leaked through a draft.

We sketched the first build on a napkin that week.

By month three we had a tiny demo for a friend.

She used it on her first case the next day.

Common questions we hear

Can the tool read scanned PDFs? Yes, with OCR.

Does it work on long files? Yes, in small chunks.

Can I roll my own rule set? Yes, save it as a preset.

Does it run offline? The desktop build runs offline.

Do you keep my files? No, the cloud build wipes after each run.

Will it learn from my work? No, we never train on inputs.

A short tour of the workflow

Upload a file or paste a snippet of prose.

Pick the entities you want gone from the draft.

Choose a method: replace, mask, hash, encrypt, or redact.

Press run and watch the side panel show each hit.

Skim the result and tweak any rule that misfired.

Save the cleaned file or send it to a teammate.
