Adjuster report redaction is the removal of personal data from a loss assessment. UK GDPR and the DPA 2018 limit how that data is shared, under ICO oversight. anonym.plus marks each item on your device, so the findings stay clear while the people named are shielded.
When this applies
A loss assessment names the claimant, witnesses, and their contacts. You trim those fields before the report reaches an insurer or solicitor.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the assessment in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned field notes and photos.
- The tool flags claimant and witness identifiers.
- Keep the findings and damage codes intact.
- Swap or black out the confirmed entries.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The assessment (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the findings readable).
- Optional alias map for repeat parties.

Limitations & cautions
An assessment holds indirect clues, like a job or a rare event. The tool flags named items but cannot judge every unique detail. Read the narrative before you share it.
Frequently asked questions
Should I redact witnesses the adjuster names?
Often yes. Witness contacts are personal data too. anonym.plus flags the claimant and others for your review.
Will the findings survive the pass?
Yes. The findings and damage codes stay. Only personal identifiers are marked.
Is the assessment uploaded?
No. The desktop app works locally, so it stays on your machine.
