Trust account record redaction is the removal of personal data from a fiduciary ledger under SEC Reg S-P (17 CFR 248). The Safeguards Rule asks a firm to protect nonpublic personal information. anonym.plus marks each party on your device, so the entries stay while the data goes.
When this applies
A fiduciary ledger names the trustee, the beneficiaries, and the holdings. You trim those identities under Reg S-P before an audit copy goes out.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the ledger in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned custodian pages.
- The tool flags trustee and beneficiary names.
- Keep the entry dates and balance columns.
- Swap or black out the marked items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The ledger (PDF, DOCX, CSV, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the columns readable).
- Optional name map for repeat parties.

Limitations & cautions
A distribution pattern can point to one beneficiary even with names gone. The tool flags named items, not unique patterns. Review the entries before you share the ledger.
Frequently asked questions
Whose data should I redact in a trust ledger?
Usually the trustee, the beneficiaries, and any linked numbers. The tool flags each party so you can apply Reg S-P before an audit copy goes out.
Can the balance columns stay?
Yes. Allow-list dates and balances. Only personal identifiers are marked for removal.
Is the ledger uploaded?
No. The app runs locally, so fiduciary data stays on your device.
