Investigation Evidence Log Redaction with anonym.plus

HR Solution · Employee Relations & Investigations · GDPR Art. 9

Evidence log redaction is the removal of personal and special-category data from a case index under GDPR Art. 9. That article gives extra protection to health, race, and similar data. anonym.plus marks names and sensitive terms on your device, so the index stays usable while people are shielded.

When this applies

A case index links items to people, with notes on health or background. You strip those special-category details under Art. 9 before sharing the log.

How anonym.plus handles it

1. Open the index in anonym.plus on your device.
2. The tool flags names and special-category terms.
3. Local OCR reads scanned exhibit cover sheets.
4. Keep the item numbers and chain-of-custody dates.
5. Swap or black out the confirmed items.
6. Save the clean copy locally.

What you need to provide

• The case index (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
• An operator (Redact suits sensitive entries).
• Optional allow-list for item and exhibit numbers.

• Keeps item numbers and chain-of-custody dates intact.
• Offline work keeps the index off any server.

Limitations & cautions

Article 9 data, like health or background, can re-identify a person even with the name removed. The tool flags named items and obvious sensitive terms, not every clue. Review each entry before you share the log.
