Relocation Record Redaction with anonym.plus

Clear identity and address data from a relocation file before it is shared.

Relocation record redaction is the removal of identifiers from a worker's relocation file, guided by GDPR Recital 26. That recital sets when data no longer points to a person. anonym.plus marks names, addresses, and bank data on your device, so the file stays clear while the data goes.

When this applies

Such a file pairs a worker's old and new addresses with bank and family data. You must shield those before a copy reaches a vendor.

How anonym.plus handles it

  1. Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
  2. Local OCR reads a scanned lease or receipt.
  3. The tool flags names, addresses, and bank data.
  4. Confirm each flag and keep the cost headings.
  5. Swap or black out the confirmed items.
  6. Save the clean copy locally.

Limitations & cautions

Recital 26 treats data as anonymous only when no one can re-identify it. A rare route plus a date can still point to a person. Turn the name map off when you need true anonymity.

Frequently asked questions

Does it shield both addresses?

Yes. The old and new addresses are flagged together, so a cleaned copy hides the route taken.

Can it read a scanned lease?

Yes. Local OCR reads the image, so identifiers on a scanned lease are flagged.

Is the file uploaded?

No. The app is fully offline, so move data stays on your machine.
