Customer correspondence redaction is the removal of personal data from letters and messages a bank exchanges with a client. GLBA (15 U.S.C. §6802) limits sharing of nonpublic customer information. anonym.plus marks each item on your device, so the thread reads clearly while the data is shielded.
When this applies
A message thread names the customer, quotes an account, and lists contact details. You must mask those before the exchange goes to a trainer.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the thread in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads any scanned mailed letters.
- The tool flags names, accounts, emails, and phones.
- Confirm the flags and keep the case reference.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean exchange locally.
What you need to provide
- The letters or emails (PDF, DOCX, EML, scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the prose readable).
- Optional allow-list for the case or ticket number.

Limitations & cautions
Free-text messages often hold indirect clues, like a complaint detail or a rare event. The tool flags named items but cannot judge every narrative clue. Read the thread before you release it.
Frequently asked questions
Does the tool scan email and mailed letters together?
Yes. It reads EML, PDF, and DOCX, and uses OCR for scanned letters, so one pass covers the whole exchange.
Will my ticket number survive the pass?
Yes. Allow-list the case or ticket reference so it stays while personal data is removed.
Is the correspondence uploaded?
No. The app works offline, so the messages stay on your machine.
