Bonus statement redaction is the removal of personal identifiers from an incentive record, working toward the anonymity standard in GDPR Recital 26. anonym.plus marks each name, ID, and award on your device, so the figures stay clear while the worker is shielded.
When this applies
A bonus slip names a person beside an award and a target. You strip those identifiers before the record goes to finance or an analyst.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the slip in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags the name, ID, and award figure.
- Local OCR reads a scanned copy if needed.
- Confirm the flags and keep the metric labels.
- Swap or black out the marked items.
- Save the clean file locally.
What you need to provide
- The slip (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the figures readable).
- Optional: turn the name map OFF for true anonymity.

Limitations & cautions
A rare award size can point to one person in a small team. The tool flags named items, not every indirect clue. Aggregate or band the figures before you share the file.
Frequently asked questions
Which standard guides this redaction?
GDPR Recital 26 sets the bar for anonymous data. anonym.plus removes identifiers so a bonus record no longer points to a person.
Will the metrics survive the pass?
Yes. The target and metric labels stay. Only personal identifiers are marked for removal.
Is the slip uploaded?
No. The app is offline, so the award data stays on your device.
