Allocation record redaction is the removal of personal identifiers from an underwriting allocation log kept under MiFID II. The directive (Dir. 2014/65/EU) requires firms to record allocation decisions. anonym.plus marks each buyer field on your machine, so the log stays usable while people are shielded.
When this applies
The log ties each allocated lot to a person's name and account. You strip those before an extract reaches a regulator or an auditor.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the log in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a printed or scanned extract.
- The tool flags recipient names and account fields.
- Keep the lot sizes, prices, and timestamps.
- Mask or swap each confirmed field.
- Save the clean extract locally.
What you need to provide
- The log (CSV export, PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Mask suits structured fields).
- Optional batch for several deals.

Limitations & cautions
MiFID II requires you to keep the full record, so redact only a shared extract. A rare lot size can still hint at a recipient. Review distinctive rows before sharing.
Frequently asked questions
Should I redact the master allocation log?
No. The rule requires you to keep the complete record. Redact only a shared extract and protect the master.
Will lot sizes and prices survive?
Yes. Allow-list those columns. Only personal identifiers are flagged for removal.
Does the log leave my machine?
No. Work runs offline, so each client's data stays on your device.
