Fixed asset register redaction is the removal of personal data from a property list so it meets the anonymity test in GDPR Recital 26. That recital exempts truly anonymous data. anonym.plus marks each identifier on your device, so the item values stay while the named custodian goes.
When this applies
The register names who holds each item, a home-office address, and a serial that ties to a person. You strip those before the list is shared.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the register in anonym.plus on your device.
- It scans holder names, locations, and serials.
- The tool flags the keeper and any home address.
- Keep item tags, costs, and depreciation columns.
- Replace or mask the confirmed identifiers.
- Save the clean list locally.
What you need to provide
- The register (XLSX, CSV, or PDF).
- An operator (Replace keeps the columns readable).
- Optional allow-list for item tag numbers.

Limitations & cautions
A home-office address tied to one item can still single out its keeper. The tool flags named items, not every indirect clue. Review remote-worker rows before you share.
Frequently asked questions
Why redact who holds an item?
A custodian name and a home address are personal data. anonym.plus flags both so the list can meet the anonymity test.
Can I keep tags and costs?
Yes. Allow-list the tag, cost, and depreciation columns. Only personal data is marked.
Is the register uploaded?
No. The app runs locally, so property data never leaves your device.
