Systems, methods, and software for data obfuscation frameworks for user applications are provided herein. An exemplary method includes providing user content to a classification service configured to process the user content to classify portions of the user content as comprising sensitive content, and receiving from the classification service indications of the user content that contains the sensitive content. The method includes presenting graphical indications in a user interface to the user application that annotate the user content as containing the sensitive content, and presenting obfuscation options in the user interface for masking the sensitive content within at least a selected portion among the user content. Responsive to a user selection of at least one of the obfuscation options, the method includes replacing associated user content with obfuscated content that maintains a data scheme of the associated user content.
