Retirement account statement redaction is the removal of personal data from a savings 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 balances stay while the data goes.
When this applies
A savings summary pairs the owner's identity with contributions and balances. You trim that identity under Reg S-P before it reaches a reviewer.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the summary in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned custodian pages.
- The tool flags name, SSN, and plan numbers.
- Keep the contribution and balance figures.
- Swap or black out the marked items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The savings summary (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Mask suits the reference numbers).
- Optional batch for many statement pages.

Limitations & cautions
A spaced reference number on a faint scan can confuse OCR. Verify the flags on image pages so no full value remains. The tool masks what it detects; check the output.
Frequently asked questions
How much of a plan number may remain?
Use Mask to keep the last four digits and hide the rest. The tool applies that in one pass across the summary.
Will the balances survive?
Yes. Allow-list the figures. Only personal identifiers are masked or removed.
Is the summary uploaded?
No. The app is fully offline, so savings data stays on your machine.
