Pre-employment medical inquiry redaction is the removal of clinical data from a pre-offer file. ADA §12112(d) bars disability-related questions before a conditional offer. anonym.plus marks each health field on your device, so the hiring record holds no such detail at the screening stage.
When this applies
A stray doctor's note or accommodation request can land in a screening file. You strip that so no health fact reaches a pre-offer decision.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned clinical note.
- The tool flags conditions, providers, and dates.
- Confirm each flag and keep job-related fields.
- Black out the confirmed health entries.
- Save the cleaned file locally.
What you need to provide
- The screening file (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Redact suits sensitive entries).
- Optional batch for many files at once.

Limitations & cautions
ADA §12112(d) restricts when an inquiry is even permitted, not only its storage. The tool removes data; it does not judge timing. Confirm the offer stage with counsel before any health step.
Frequently asked questions
When does the ADA allow a health inquiry?
ADA §12112(d) allows disability-related questions only after a conditional offer. Before that, strip clinical data from the file.
Can it read a scanned clinical note?
Yes. Local OCR reads the image first, then flags conditions and providers for removal.
Is the file uploaded?
No. The app runs locally, so health data stays on your device.
