Member enrolment de-identification is the removal of personal IDs from an enrolment record. It meets DPA 2018 & UK GDPR. anonym.plus works locally and keeps the plan choices for analysis.
When this applies
The record is ID-dense: full demographics, dependants, and a plan choice. To study take-up rates or train staff, strip those IDs first.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the feed in anonym.plus on your device.
- It finds demographic, dependant, and contact fields.
- Dependant names get flagged as related-party IDs.
- Keep the plan choice and the tier you need.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy on your machine.
What you need to provide
- The record (CSV, PDF, or insurer export).
- A column map for known ID fields.
- An operator (Redact for slim audit copies).

Limitations & cautions
Dependants’ IDs must go too, since they are personal data when tied to the enrollee. Check that custom demographic fields are mapped, so nothing slips past in a fixed layout.
Frequently asked questions
Are dependants anonymised too?
Yes. A dependant’s name or birth date in the enrollee’s record is personal data and is flagged for removal along with the member’s own.
Does the plan choice stay?
Yes. The chosen plan and the tier stay, so the data is still useful for take-up studies.
Can I process a structured enrolment export?
Yes. Structured exports and printed enrolment pages both work locally.
