Property claim redaction is the removal of nonpublic personal information from a damage report. GLBA, at 15 U.S.C. §6802, limits how that data is shared. anonym.plus marks each item on your device, so the damage facts stay clear while the owner stays shielded.
When this applies
Such a document names the owner, the bank account, and the loss address. You trim those fields before it moves to a contractor or reinsurer.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned photos with printed captions.
- The tool flags names, accounts, and addresses.
- Keep the file and damage codes intact.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The damage write-up (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the notes readable).
- Optional allow-list for reference and parcel numbers.

Limitations & cautions
A loss address can hint at the owner even after the name goes. The tool flags named items. Decide whether the address itself must be masked too.
Frequently asked questions
Should I redact the loss address?
Often yes. An address can re-identify the owner. The tool flags it so you can decide whether to mask it.
Will my reference numbers survive?
Yes. Allow-list reference and parcel numbers so they stay while personal data is removed.
Is the file sent anywhere?
No. The app is fully offline, so it stays on your device.
