If you’re concerned about information privacy, you can configure Acrolinx to anonymize all of the user-specific data that you collect. After you turn on anonymous checking, Acrolinx anonymizes all user data in the reporting database, the Acrolinx Scorecards, and the property files. This data includes:
-
Username
-
Full name, if provided
-
Client name and information
-
File path and file name of the checked documents
-
Issue context
When you enable anonymous checking, Acrolinx inserts placeholder values for data that could identify a user.
However, Acrolinx doesn’t anonymize user data that was stored before you enabled anonymous checking. If your database already has sensitive data, you might consider manually removing this data or starting with a new anonymous reporting database.
Tip
If you’ve enabled the custom user information form, try not to configure fields that could be used to determine the identity of individual users. For example, a field like "Room number" could be used to determine the identity of the user.
To make all user data anonymous, follow these steps:
-
In the Dashboard, navigate to Users > Privacy.
-
Under User Data, select Anonymous checking.
Note
You can't choose the combination "anonymous checking" and Scorecard Access "personal." You want the person who created the Scorecard to stay anonymous after all.
