Regulatory-filing redaction is the removal of PII from licences, permits, and regulator submissions. It supports anonymous sharing under GDPR Recital 26. anonym.plus runs locally and keeps the content that a buyer must verify.
When this applies
A target's submissions name officers, contacts, and signatories. A buyer checks the licences and approvals. Clear the people before you share it.

- It flags officer names, contacts, and ID numbers.

- Save the clean copy on your device.
What you need to provide

Limitations & cautions
Officer names in a small regulated firm can be public elsewhere, so a swap may not be true anonymity on its own. Weigh outside sources, and broaden detail where a single role gives a person away.
Frequently asked questions
Does the licence content stay?
Yes. The licence numbers and approval text stay. Only personal data changes.
Are named officers cleared?
Yes. Officers and signatories in the document can be flagged and swapped together.
Can I process a scanned page?
Yes. Local OCR reads scanned pages, so IDs in image files are caught.
