EEO-1 de-identification is the removal of personal identifiers from a workforce demographic filing under EEOC 29 CFR 1602. The rule governs how employers report headcount by category. anonym.plus marks contacts and identifiers on your device, so the counts stay usable while the people behind them stay hidden.
When this applies
Such a draft pairs demographic counts with a filer's name and contact line. You strip those details before a working copy circulates to managers.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned cover page.
- The app flags the filer, contacts, and any stray IDs.
- Keep the category counts and establishment codes.
- Swap or black out the confirmed identifiers.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The draft filing (PDF, DOCX, CSV export).
- An operator (Replace keeps the layout readable).
- Optional allow-list for establishment codes.

Limitations & cautions
The filing is aggregate, yet a small cell count can still re-identify a person. If only one worker sits in a category at one site, that count alone may name them. Suppress or band small cells before you share it.
Frequently asked questions
Is an aggregate filing already anonymous?
Not always. A cell holding one or two people can re-identify them. Review small counts and suppress or band them before sharing the report.
What does the tool remove?
Filer names, contacts, and stray identifiers. The category counts remain so the report stays valid under 29 CFR 1602.
Does the file leave my device?
No. The app is fully offline, so the working copy stays local.
