A fraud case file records a suspected scheme and the people tied to it. GDPR Recital 26 says data is anonymous only when no person can be singled out again. anonym.plus removes names, IDs, and contacts on your device, so the record can be studied without exposing anyone.
When this applies
A risk team shares a closed file to spot scheme patterns across the year. You clean that copy so analysts see the method, not the people.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned evidence pages.
- The tool flags victim, suspect, and contact data.
- Turn the name map OFF for true anonymity.
- Replace each identifier with a label.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The dossier (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace, with the name map off).
- Optional batch for many closed files.

Limitations & cautions
Under Recital 26, data stays personal if anyone can re-identify it. A reversible name map defeats anonymity, so switch it off. A unique loss amount plus a date can still single someone out; review free text yourself.
Frequently asked questions
When is a fraud file truly anonymous under GDPR?
Recital 26 says only when no person can be singled out again. Turn off the name map and check free-text clues to reach that bar.
Does the reversible map break anonymity?
Yes. If you keep a map that re-links names, the data is still personal. Switch it off for true anonymity.
Is the dossier uploaded for processing?
No. The app runs locally, so it stays on your machine.
