Accommodation dispute redaction is the removal of personal and medical identifiers from a disability file under ADA § 12112(d). That section requires medical data to stay confidential and apart. anonym.plus marks names and health details on your device, so the dispute stays clear while the worker is shielded.
When this applies
An accommodation file holds a diagnosis, a doctor's note, and the worker's name. You strip those details under § 12112(d) before the record is shared.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags the worker and any health terms.
- Local OCR reads a scanned doctor's note.
- Keep the requested accommodation described.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The dispute file (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Redact suits medical data).
- Optional allow-list for the accommodation term.

Limitations & cautions
A rare condition can identify a worker even with the name removed. The tool flags named items and obvious health terms, not every clinical clue. Review the note before you share it.
Frequently asked questions
Why keep medical data separate under the ADA?
Section 12112(d) requires medical information to be kept confidential and apart. anonym.plus removes it from the file so general records carry no health data.
Can the tool read a scanned doctor's note?
Yes. Local OCR reads the image, then flags names and health terms so you can black them out.
Is the file uploaded?
No. The app is offline, so the dispute file and any medical detail stay on your machine.
