Portfolio statement redaction is the removal of personal data from a holdings summary under SEC Reg S-P (17 CFR 248). The Safeguards Rule asks a firm to protect nonpublic personal information. anonym.plus marks each name, number, and address on your own device, so the figures stay while the data goes.
When this applies
A holdings summary lists the owner, the accounts, and the balances together. You must trim that data under Reg S-P before it reaches an outside reviewer.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the summary in anonym.plus on your workstation.
- Local OCR reads any scanned custodian pages.
- The tool flags names, numbers, and addresses.
- Confirm each flag and keep the ticker symbols.
- Swap or black out the marked items.
- Save the clean copy locally with no network call.
What you need to provide
- The summary (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator: Replace, Redact, or Mask.
- Optional allow-list for ticker symbols and fund names.

Limitations & cautions
A holdings mix can be unusual enough to point to one investor on its own. The tool flags named items, but it cannot judge when a rare position re-identifies someone. Review the figures yourself.
Frequently asked questions
What does Reg S-P ask a firm to protect?
It asks a firm to safeguard nonpublic personal information about its customers. anonym.plus flags names, numbers, and contacts so you can apply that duty before sharing a file.
Will the holdings figures survive the pass?
Yes. Allow-list ticker symbols and fund names. Only personal identifiers are marked for removal, so the analysis still reads.
Does anything go to the cloud?
No. The desktop app runs on your machine with no upload step, so the data stays local.
