Card dispute letter redaction is the removal of personal account data from a written complaint under PCI-DSS v4.0. The standard limits how a stored account number is kept. anonym.plus marks each value on your device, so the complaint stays clear while buyer data is shielded.
When this applies
A dispute note quotes the buyer's card, the amount, and personal contacts. You strip those identifiers under the standard before it is shared.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the complaint in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned, signed page.
- The tool flags card digits, names, and contacts.
- Keep the claim reference and date you must cite.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The letter (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the prose readable).
- Optional name map for a repeat complainant.

Limitations & cautions
A complainant may describe a unique purchase that points to them indirectly. The tool flags named fields, so read the narrative before you forward it.
Frequently asked questions
Will the claim reference survive?
Yes. Allow-list the reference and date so they stay while card and buyer fields are removed.
Can it read a scanned, signed page?
Yes. Local OCR reads the image, then flags the data for review.
Is the complaint uploaded?
No. The app is fully offline, so it stays on your device.
