Claude + Data Alias: Work through protected exports in Claude, then put the names back

The safe copy goes to Claude as a file you upload; the answer comes back to Data Alias when you paste it.

Why use Claude with Data Alias

Long exports and interview transcripts are where Claude earns its keep, and where the most identifying detail sits. Protecting the file first means the conversation is about PERSON_014, not about a customer by name, and the real names come back only in your own tab.

How it works

There is no connection between Data Alias and Claude. You protect the file in your browser, download the safe copy and the instructions prepared for AI, and upload them to Claude yourself. When the answer refers to aliases such as PERSON_001, paste it into Restore and the real values come back — in your tab, from a mapping that never left it.

What it does

  • Prepare a safe copy and instructions that ask Claude to keep aliases exactly as written
  • Keep aliases consistent, so the same person is the same alias in every row
  • Swap the aliases in Claude's answer back to real values, in your browser
  • Warn you before download if a detected value would stay unprotected

How to use it

  1. 1

    Protect the file

    Upload a CSV, XLSX, TXT, JSON, PDF or DOCX file, or paste text. Review the suggested protection and change anything you disagree with.

  2. 2

    Download the files for AI

    Take the safe copy and the instructions. The alias mapping is not part of them.

  3. 3

    Upload them to Claude yourself

    Attach both in a Claude conversation and ask your question.

  4. 4

    Paste the answer into Restore

    Aliases in the answer are replaced with the real values in this tab. Read the restored answer before you use it.

Limits worth knowing

  • Aliases replace the identifiers Data Alias detects and the columns you choose. Detection can miss a value, so review the safe copy before you upload it.
  • Restore can only put back aliases that appear in the answer as written. If Claude rewords or drops one, that value is not restored.

Your questions, covered

Get started today

Protect a file
Does Data Alias send my data to Claude?

No. Data Alias doesn't call Claude or any other AI service. You upload the safe copy yourself.

Is the safe copy anonymous?

No. It is pseudonymised: identifiers are replaced with consistent aliases so the data stays useful. That reduces exposure, but no detector finds every sensitive value — review before you upload.

Where is the mapping between aliases and real values?

In your browser tab, and in a mapping file only if you choose to download one. It is never part of the files prepared for AI.

Data Alias reduces exposure risk but cannot guarantee detection of every sensitive value. Every transfer passes the same review as a download — check the result before you send it. How connected services are handled.
