Syndicated loan redaction is the removal of personal data from a credit agreement and its schedules under GDPR Recital 26. The recital sets the anonymity test. anonym.plus marks each signatory and contact on your machine, so the credit terms stay clear while people are shielded.
When this applies
The agreement names borrower officers, guarantors, and lender contacts across schedules. You trim those before the file moves around the syndicate.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the agreement and schedules in anonym.plus.
- Local OCR reads scanned signature blocks.
- The tool flags names, IDs, and contact details.
- Keep the facility terms and covenant figures.
- Turn the map off when true anonymity is needed.
- Save the clean file locally.
What you need to provide
- The agreement and schedules (PDF, DOCX, scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the terms readable).
- Optional batch for a multi-schedule file.

Limitations & cautions
Recital 26 treats data as anonymous only when re-identification is not reasonably likely. A named role plus a seat can still point to a person. Review schedules and keep the map off for true anonymity.
Frequently asked questions
Will the facility terms survive the pass?
Yes. Allow-list the figures the syndicate needs. Only personal identifiers in the signature blocks and notices are flagged.
How do I make the file truly anonymous?
Turn the name map off and remove indirect clues. Recital 26 needs re-identification to be no longer possible by likely means.
Does the credit file leave my machine?
No. The app is offline, so each party's data stays on your device.
