Market-abuse report redaction is the removal of personal data from a suspicious transaction filing under EU MAR. The rule (Reg. 596/2014) requires firms to flag possible abuse. anonym.plus marks each subject and source field on your machine, so the account of events stays clear while people are shielded.
When this applies
The filing names a suspected person, the source, and account details. You strip those before any extract is shared beyond the regulator.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned or printed copy.
- The tool flags subject, source, and account data.
- Keep the event timeline and order details.
- Swap or black out the confirmed identifiers.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The filing (PDF, DOCX, or scan).

Limitations & cautions
The filing goes to the regulator in full; redact only an internal or onward extract. The source's identity is sensitive, so protect it carefully. Review the narrative for indirect clues before sharing.
Frequently asked questions
Should I redact the version sent to the regulator?
No. The regulator needs the full account. Redact only an internal or onward extract, and keep the master intact.
How is the source protected?
The tool flags the source field so you can shield it. Guard that data, since a filer's identity is highly sensitive.
Does the file leave my machine?
No. Work runs offline, so subject and source data stays on your device.
