Goal and OKR record redaction is the removal of identifiers from objective trackers so owners stay private. GDPR Recital 26 puts anonymous data beyond the rules. anonym.plus marks each name on your device, so the targets and progress stay readable while the owners are hidden.
When this applies
An analyst studies goal attainment across teams. You redact the owner names first, so the export meets Recital 26 before it lands in a dashboard.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the tracker in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned objective sheet.
- The tool flags owner names and emails.
- Confirm the flags and keep the metric columns.
- Replace each owner with a steady code.
- Save the clean export locally.
What you need to provide
- The tracker (CSV-as-TXT, XLSX-as-TXT, PDF).
- An operator (Replace keeps metrics readable).
- Optional name map, off for true anonymity.

Limitations & cautions
A very specific objective can tie back to one owner even without a name. A niche target may have only one possible author. Pool or relabel such rows before sharing.
Frequently asked questions
Can a goal alone reveal who owns it?
Sometimes. A niche objective may have one obvious owner, so Recital 26 anonymity can require you to generalise the goal text.
Does it keep the metric values?
Yes. Only the names and contacts are masked, so targets and progress stay intact for analysis.
Is the tracker sent anywhere?
No. The tool works offline, so the export stays on your device.
