Diligence-report redaction is the removal of personal data from an adviser's findings. It supports anonymous sharing under GDPR Recital 26. anonym.plus finds and swaps the PII on your device, so the analysis stays useful for the deal team.
When this applies
Advisers write up risks, contracts, and people across the target. The write-up names staff and counterparties. You want to share findings, not identities.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Load one report or a whole folder into anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool scans names, emails, IDs, and dates in the prose.
- Risk findings and deal context stay; only PII gets flagged.
- Confirm each flag, then redact or swap it.
- Save the clean file with no network call.
What you need to provide
- The report as DOCX, PDF, or pasted text.
- An operator: Redact for slim copies, Replace for readable ones.
- Optional allow-list to keep your own deal terms.

Limitations & cautions
Free prose varies a lot. Short forms and odd spellings can slip past once in a while. Always check the flags before you export, above all on scanned pages that OCR turned into text.
Frequently asked questions
Will redaction hurt the findings?
No. The IDs go, but the risks, deal context, and conclusions stay. The write-up is still useful for review.
Can I run a whole folder of reports at once?
Yes. Point anonym.plus at a folder and it works through each one on your device.
Is the source ever uploaded?
No. Work is fully offline. The report stays on your machine the whole time.
