Investor Deck Redaction with anonym.plus

Legal Solution · Corporate & M&A Diligence · GDPR Recital 26

Investor-deck redaction is the removal of personal data from pitch slides. A logo slide usually rests on a reference clause, and most such clauses limit where the name may appear. Team slides carry names and photos, which need their own basis, often legitimate interests under GDPR Art. 6(1)(f).

When this applies

The deck goes to a wider investor list than your customers ever approved. Logos and named references sit on slide four. Check the reference clause, then mask the names before you send it.

How anonym.plus handles it

1. Load the deck into anonym.plus on your device.
2. It scans slide text and speaker notes for names.
3. Metrics, charts, and the story stay in place.
4. Swap or black out the confirmed PII.
5. Save the clean file on your device.

What you need to provide

• The deck (PPTX, PDF, or export).
• An operator (Replace keeps the slides readable).
• Optional allow-list to keep brand terms.

Compliance achieved

• Masks named references, so you stay inside each customer's reference clause.
• Covers team names and photo captions, which need a basis such as GDPR Art. 6(1)(f).
• Scans both slide text and speaker notes.
• Fully offline — the pitch never reaches the cloud.

Limitations & cautions

A named-customer logo can re-identify even after the text goes. Image logos may slip past a text scan, so review embedded graphics by hand before you circulate the slides.
