Position statement redaction is the removal of personal identifiers from an employer's reply in the EEOC charge process under 29 CFR 1601. That part governs how a charge is handled. anonym.plus marks names and contacts on your device, so the statement stays clear while non-parties are shielded.
When this applies
The agency may share the reply with the charging party. You strip third-party identifiers under 29 CFR 1601 before you submit it.

Limitations & cautions
The agency can disclose the reply to the charging party. A unique fact about a co-worker can re-identify them even with names gone. Review the document for indirect clues before you submit.
Frequently asked questions
Why redact a position statement at all?
Under 29 CFR 1601 the agency may share it with the charging party. Stripping non-party data limits exposure while the reply still answers the charge.
Will the charge number be kept?
Yes. Allow-list it so it stays intact. Only personal identifiers in the body are marked for removal.
Does the reply go to a cloud service?
No. The app runs offline, so the statement stays on your device until you submit it.
