How it works

Redact a CV in under 30 seconds

Upload a PDF or DOCX. Choose your redaction mode. Download the anonymised file. Zero bytes leave your device at any point.

1

Upload the CV

Drag a PDF or DOCX onto the tool. The file is read into browser memory only — it never leaves your device.

2

Choose a redaction mode

Standard PII, Bias Strip, Client Submission, or EEOC Blind Review. Each mode removes a different layer of identifying information from the CV.

3

Processed in your browser

pdf.js and pdf-lib draw black redaction bars over PII positions directly in the original file — preserving layout, fonts, and formatting.

4

Download the redacted CV

The redacted file downloads directly to your device. The Blob URL is immediately revoked — nothing is retained or cached.

What gets removed

Every identifier, every bias signal

NullifyCV detects a broad range of personal data relevant to UK hiring law — including characteristics protected under the Equality Act 2010 that could expose your organisation to discrimination claims.

Full name
Email address
Phone number
Home address & postcode
Date of birth
Graduation year (age proxy)
Gender pronouns
Nationality
Profile photo
LinkedIn & personal URLs
School / university names
File author metadata
Who it's for

Built for UK HR teams and recruiters

In-house HR teams

Run structured blind hiring at scale. Remove personal data before CVs reach the scoring panel — with an audit log documenting every redaction for your Data Protection Officer.

Recruitment agencies

Submit candidate profiles to clients without exposing personal contact details. Protect candidates from direct poaching while staying UK GDPR-consistent.

Compliance and legal teams

Document a defensible, bias-reducing hiring workflow. The ICO expects organisations to demonstrate active steps toward fair processing — anonymised CV handling supports that position.

DEI and talent acquisition leads

Implement structured blind review without replacing your ATS. NullifyCV works on any PDF or DOCX — no integration, no procurement process required.

Security & privacy

Verifiable privacy — not just a claim

NullifyCV is architecturally incapable of receiving your files. Open DevTools → Network tab while processing a CV and watch for outbound requests — you'll see none containing file data.

✓ 0 bytes uploaded ✓ No server ✓ No account required ✓ No ads ✓ Open source on GitHub ✓ A-rated security headers (Snyk) ✓ UK GDPR-consistent
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

NullifyCV supports UK GDPR data minimisation principles under Article 5(1)(c) — processing files locally means no personal data is transmitted or stored by the tool. Whether your overall hiring process is fully UK GDPR compliant depends on many other factors. Consult your Data Protection Officer or legal counsel for a formal assessment.
No. Processing happens entirely in your browser using pdf.js and mammoth.js. There is no server that can receive your CV — not even ours. You can verify this by opening DevTools → Network tab while processing a file: you'll see zero outbound requests containing file data.
