Data anonymisation helper

Prompt template
I need to paste the following data into an AI tool for analysis, but it contains personally identifiable information. Anonymise it for me:

[PASTE DATA]

Rules:
- Replace all names with "User [A/B/C...]" or "Company [1/2/3...]"
- Replace all email addresses with "user@example.com"
- Replace all specific dates with relative dates ("3 months ago", "last Tuesday")
- Replace all specific revenue figures with ranges ("€10K–50K")
- Keep all other context intact - the goal is to preserve analytical value while removing identifiers

Return the anonymised version only.

How to use it well

  1. Replace every [BRACKETED] placeholder - vague inputs produce vague outputs.
  2. Add your role and constraints at the top if your assistant does not already know them.
  3. Critique the first answer explicitly (“too generic because…”) and ask for a second pass.
  4. Save the version that worked into a project or system prompt so you never retype it.
