File inspection & briefs
Remove personal data before files go to court, opposing counsel, or the client — consistently across the whole document.
Use AI — without a client name ever leaving the firm.
doccape removes sensitive data from your documents before they go into an AI tool, a cloud, or to third parties. Work as modern as you want. Attorney–client privilege stays where it belongs.
Protecting sensitive data becomes a blocker
You would already be using AI. If it weren't for confidentiality .
Summarize a brief, review a contract, search hundreds of pages — the tools are there.
But you must not put client data into third-party systems. One slipped name, address, or case number — and the efficiency gain becomes a professional-conduct problem.
So the tool stays unused. And competitors move ahead.
What the BRAO requires
- §43a IIThe lawyer is obliged to maintain confidentiality — regarding everything that became known to them in the exercise of their profession.
- §43e IIIThe contract with the service provider must be in writing and obliges them, with instruction on the criminal consequences, to maintain confidentiality.
- §203 StGBAnyone who unlawfully discloses a third party's secret entrusted to them as a lawyer shall be punished.
- §43e IVServices abroad only if the protection of secrets there is comparable to that in Germany.
How doccape removes the blocker
What nobody gets to see cannot be disclosed.
doccape replaces every sensitive value with a placeholder before a document leaves the firm. From the AI provider's perspective, no client secret has left the building — there is nothing to disclose.
Anonymize instead of redact
Placeholders instead of black bars — the document stays readable and workable, just without real identities.
DPA included
A DPA under Art. 28 GDPR and the confidentiality obligation under §43e BRAO are part of the product — in every plan.

The link between placeholder and clear text stays with you — after the AI work, the real data is back.

Before doccape
With doccape
In the matter of PER-1 v. PER-2,
Case no. AKZ-1.
Our client PER-1, born DAT-1,
residing at STR-1, PLZ-1 LOC-1, reachable at MAIL-1,
asserts claims arising from the purchase agreement dated DAT-2 concerning the property at STR-2, LOC-1.
The opposing party is PER-2, represented by PER-3.
We request a date for settlement discussions.
Drag the slider — left the original, right what the AI actually gets to see.
We know your day-to-day
Four moments when sensitive data leaves the firm — secured.
Not generic “document redaction”. The concrete points in law-firm work where it gets critical.
AI-assisted analysis
Whether contract analysis, research, or drafting briefs: the AI sees placeholders, never the real client — and can still do the work.
Sharing with third parties
Experts, insurers, appraisers: share what must be shared — without disclosing the mandate.
Mass proceedings & due diligence
Anonymize many documents one after another automatically, instead of redacting page by page by hand.
How you work with doccape
Two paths — you choose how much control you keep.
The single sensitive document with step-by-step control. Or anonymization automated in the background of your existing stack.
The editor: review and approve
doccape detects sensitive data automatically — you make the final call. Confirm, correct, or add every redaction before anything goes out.
- No flying blind: you see and own every change.
- Scanned PDFs too, thanks to built-in OCR.
For: the single sensitive document — file inspection, briefs, sharing with opposing counsel or experts.
AI agents & processes: automatic in the background
Anonymization as a layer in front of your automated workflows and AI agents. doccape wraps what the firm already uses — instead of forcing a new tool.
- Sits in front of your AI agents and automations — without clear text leaving with them.
- No tool switch: the firm keeps its familiar workflows.
For: volume and recurring workflows — anonymization without a manual step.
When the client rules out the cloud
You’ve agreed: no processing in the cloud?
Then anonymization is often the pragmatic path — and on-premise is the hard line. We support both.
Anonymize before anything hits the cloud
Clear-text data does not have to leave the firm. doccape replaces identities with placeholders — then you can still work with cloud AI without breaking the client agreement.
On-premise or hybrid on your servers
doccape also runs fully in your infrastructure. We help you build a stack that works completely on-premise or hybrid — without US detours.
