Safe-deposit record redaction takes personal data out of a vault-rental or entry file. UK GDPR and the DPA 2018 limit how a bank shares holder information. anonym.plus marks each field on your machine, so the entry trail stays clear while renter data is shielded.
When this applies
Such a file names the renter, the box number, and each visit date. You must hide those before the log goes to an auditor.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the rental file in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned entry ledger.
- It flags the renter, NINO, and vault reference.
- Confirm the flags and keep the branch and unit codes.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean record locally.
What you need to provide
- The vault-rental file (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the trail readable).
- Optional allow-list for branch and unit codes.

Limitations & cautions
An entry pattern at distinct times can identify the holder even after the name is masked. Weigh whether to keep the full timeline when the copy is for outside review.
Frequently asked questions
Does the tool flag an ID shown at the vault?
Yes. It detects a driving licence or other ID number logged at each entry and masks it along with the renter name.
Can I keep the box number?
Yes, via the allow-list. But that number plus a date can re-link a renter, so weigh the choice for a fully anonymous log.
Is the rental file uploaded?
No. The app works offline, so the record stays on your device.
