Recurring billing record redaction is the removal of personal payment data from a subscription entry under PCI-DSS v4.0. The standard limits how a stored number is kept. anonym.plus marks each value on your device, so the entry stays auditable while buyer data is shielded.
When this applies
A subscription entry keeps the buyer's account on file for repeat charges. You strip those identifiers under the standard before the record is shared.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the billing entry in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags stored number, name, and email data.
- Local OCR reads any scanned mandate page.
- Keep the plan code and cycle dates you must retain.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean entry locally.
What you need to provide
- The billing entry (CSV, PDF, DOCX).
- An operator (Replace keeps the entry readable).
- Optional allow-list for plan and cycle codes.

Limitations & cautions
A stored mandate may carry a bank IBAN plus a number on file. The tool flags both, but review odd custom fields a billing system added before you share.
Frequently asked questions
Will the plan code and cycle dates survive?
Yes. Allow-list those fields so they stay while account and buyer data are removed.
Does it handle a SEPA mandate IBAN too?
Yes. The tool flags an IBAN alongside the value on file so both can be shielded.
Is the entry uploaded?
No. The app runs locally, so the subscription data stays on your device.
