Insider list redaction is the removal of personal data from a register kept under EU MAR. Article 18 of Reg. 596/2014 requires an issuer to hold such a list with each person's identifiers. anonym.plus marks those entries on your device, so the structure stays intact while names and IDs are shielded.
When this applies
Article 18 forces the register to carry full names, national IDs, and private phone numbers. When the issuer shares an extract, you trim those entries first.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the register in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned or printed extract.
- The tool flags names, national IDs, and contacts.
- Keep the column structure and timestamps intact.
- Swap or black out each confirmed entry.
- Save the clean extract locally.
What you need to provide
- The register (CSV export, PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Redact suits a shared extract).
- Optional name map, kept under strict control.

Limitations & cautions
Article 18 requires the issuer to keep the full register, so do not destroy the master copy. Redact only a shared extract. The role plus access time can still hint at identity, so review extracts with care.
Frequently asked questions
Should I redact the master register itself?
No. Article 18 requires you to keep the complete list. Redact only an extract you share onward, and protect the master under MAR.
Which fields does Article 18 force into the list?
Full name, national ID, work and private phone numbers, home address, and access times. anonym.plus flags each so you can shield a shared extract.
Does the register leave my machine?
No. Work runs offline, so each insider's data stays on your device.
