Subrogation redaction is the removal of personal data from a recovery dossier. 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 recovery facts stay clear while the people named are shielded.
When this applies
Such a record names the claimant, the at-fault driver, and bank details. You trim those fields before the paperwork reaches counsel or another insurer.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned demand letters and reports.
- The tool flags claimant and third-party identifiers.
- Keep the claim and recovery codes intact.
- Swap or black out the confirmed entries.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The recovery file (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the demand readable).
- Optional alias map for repeat individuals.

Limitations & cautions
A demand letter can name a unique fact that points to someone. The tool flags named items. Read the letter for indirect clues before you share it.
Frequently asked questions
Whose data should I redact in a recovery dossier?
Both the claimant and the at-fault driver hold personal data under UK GDPR. anonym.plus flags each for review.
Will my recovery codes survive?
Yes. Allow-list claim and recovery codes so they stay while personal data is removed.
Is the file uploaded?
No. The app works offline, so it stays on your machine.
