A 30(b)(6) deposition redaction is the removal of personal data from the testimony of an organization's representative under FRCP 30(b)(6). anonym.plus runs locally and keeps the policy and process answers that drive the case.
When this applies
A company names a witness to speak on its behalf on listed topics. The record names that person and many employees, so those IDs must be hidden.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Bring the record into anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags the designee and named employees.
- Topic and policy answers stay; only IDs get flagged.
- Swap them for labels like [DESIGNEE] and [EMPLOYEE].
- Save the clean record on your device.
What you need to provide
- The record (PDF, DOCX, or TXT).
- An operator (Replace keeps the answers readable).
- Optional role map for [DESIGNEE] and employee labels.

Limitations & cautions
Corporate testimony names many staff in passing. Check that every named employee is flagged, not just the witness. A job title plus a small team can still hint at one person, so review those lines.
