Term-sheet anonymization is the removal of personal data from a deal outline. Once it is truly anonymous (GDPR Recital 26), it falls outside the law. anonym.plus does this on your device and keeps the headline terms for comparison.
When this applies
A term sheet sets out price, structure, and the named parties. To reuse it as a precedent or to benchmark deals, make it anonymous first.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the draft in anonym.plus on your device.
- It finds party names, contacts, and account data.
- Price and structure terms stay in place.
- Swap names for labels with the re-link map off.
- Save the clean draft on your device.
What you need to provide
- The draft (DOCX, PDF, or pasted text).
- Replace with the map off for full anonymity.
- Optional role map for party labels.

Limitations & cautions
A niche structure can hint at one investor even after the name goes. A rare term may still be traceable in a small market. Weigh the residual risk before you treat the draft as anonymous.
Frequently asked questions
When is a term sheet truly anonymous?
When no one can reasonably re-identify a party. That means no kept key and low residual risk. Only then does Recital 26 take it out of scope.
Do the headline terms stay?
Yes. The price and structure stay. Only the parties' personal data changes.
Can I paste the text straight in?
Yes. Paste the draft or load a file. Both run locally on your device.
