Canopy is an anonymous platform and we strongly recommend to remove personal personally identifiable information from your bank statements even though Canopy does not read or store any personal data. 

...

  • Please do not remove the bank name/branch and account number - we use this to identify your account. You may change the account number to a different value, but please ensure the replaced value is consistent every month. For example, 112345-1 is consistently replaced with abc345-1 every month.  


How can I anonymize the information?

...

  • Windows: We recommend PDFdu Text Replace for any text replacements. Additionally, PDF Eraser has proved to be very helpful whenever text passages, e.g. transaction narrations, need to be removed.
  • Mac: Unfortunately, there are very few suitable offline tools for Mac unless you are willing to spend at least USD 100 on an advanced PDF editor. Alternatively, you may use the PDFdu online tool. However, we would like to point out that by using online tools Canopy cannot guarantee security of your data.
