Renewal redaction is the removal of personal data from a continuation mailing. UK GDPR and the DPA 2018 limit how that data is shared, while the FCA Consumer Duty frames fair-value disclosure at renewal. anonym.plus marks each item on your device, so the terms stay clear while the holder stays shielded.
When this applies
Such a mailing repeats the holder's name, account, and address. You trim those fields before the notice moves to a vendor or audit reviewer.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the notice in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned mailing page.
- The tool flags names, accounts, and addresses.
- Keep the premium and cover terms intact.
- Swap or black out the confirmed entries.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The continuation notice (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the terms readable).
- Optional allow-list for premium and policy numbers.

Limitations & cautions
A mailing address can hint at the holder even after the name goes. The tool flags named items. Decide whether the address must be masked too.
