Request-for-admission redaction is the removal of personal data from RFAs and responses served under FRCP 36. anonym.plus runs locally and keeps the matter each item asks the party to admit or deny.

Limitations & cautions
An RFA must stay clear enough to admit or deny. If you mask too much, the item becomes ambiguous and may be objected to. Keep the fact at issue and clear only PII that the wording does not need.
Frequently asked questions
What is a request for admission?
It is a written statement of fact under FRCP 36 that the other party must admit or deny. Admitted facts are then established for the case.
Can I redact and still keep the item clear?
Yes. Target only PII not needed to state the fact. The matter to admit stays clear so the wording is not ambiguous.
Does it handle both the served set and responses?
Yes. The RFA set and the served response are both supported in DOCX or PDF.
