A law enforcement request asks a firm for records tied to an AML matter that engages its MLR 2017 duties. anonym.plus removes subject names, identifiers, and account data from a copy on your device. The legal basis stays clear while the named persons are shielded for internal study.
When this applies
A team coaches staff on how to respond to such demands. You clean a past letter so the lesson shows the process, not the named subjects.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the copy in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned letter.
- The tool flags subject names, identifiers, and accounts.
- Keep the legal basis and the records sought.
- Swap each identifier for a label.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The copy (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the process readable).
- Optional batch for several past demands.

Limitations & cautions
Such a demand may be confidential or carry a non-disclosure order. Clean only copies for internal training, and follow any order on the original. Even a redacted copy must stay inside the firm if it is restricted.
Frequently asked questions
Can I freely share a redacted law-enforcement demand?
Treat it as restricted. Follow any non-disclosure order. Even a clean copy must stay inside the firm if the demand is confidential.
What stays after the pass?
The legal basis and the records sought stay, so a training lesson works without the named subjects.
Is the letter uploaded?
No. The app is offline, so a restricted demand stays on your device.
