Mediation record redaction is the removal of personal identifiers from a conflict-resolution note, guided by GDPR Recital 26. That recital sets when data is truly anonymous. anonym.plus marks names and contacts on your device, so the outcome stays clear while the parties are shielded.
When this applies
A mediation note names both parties, the mediator, and what was said. You strip those identifiers before the record is used for learning.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the note in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags both parties and the mediator.
- Local OCR reads scanned session minutes.
- Turn off the name map for true anonymity.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The mediation note (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Redact for shared learning).
- Name map turned OFF for true anonymisation.

Limitations & cautions
Recital 26 treats data as anonymous only if no one can re-identify a person. A unique remark can still single out a party. Review the note, and keep the name map off for genuine anonymity.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a mediation note truly anonymous?
Turn the reversible name map OFF and use Redact. Then check that no unique remark singles out a party, as Recital 26 requires.
Can I keep a pseudonym per party?
Yes, with the name map on. That is pseudonymisation, which is still personal data, not the full anonymisation Recital 26 describes.
Is the note uploaded?
No. The app runs locally, so session detail never reaches a cloud server.
