Performance Report Redaction with anonym.plus

Clear personal data from a returns report while the numbers stay.

Performance report redaction is the removal of personal data from a returns summary under SEC Reg S-P (17 CFR 248). The Safeguards Rule asks a firm to protect nonpublic personal information. anonym.plus marks each identifier on your device, so the figures stay while the data goes.

When this applies

A returns summary pairs the owner's name with balances and gains. You trim the identity parts under Reg S-P before using it as a marketing sample.

How anonym.plus handles it

  1. Open the summary in anonym.plus on your device.
  2. Local OCR reads scanned chart pages.
  3. The tool flags names, numbers, and contacts.
  4. Keep the return percentages and benchmarks.
  5. Swap or black out the marked items.
  6. Save the clean copy locally.

Limitations & cautions

A standout return paired with a date can hint at one investor. The tool flags named items, not every clue. Anonymize a real return before you use it as a public sample.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reuse a real return as a sample?

Only after you strip the owner's identity. The tool flags the names and numbers so the sample no longer names a real investor.

Will the benchmarks survive?

Yes. Allow-list benchmark names. Only personal identifiers are marked for removal.

Is the report sent anywhere?

No. The app works offline, so the returns data stays on your machine.
