Subrogation anonymisation is the removal of IDs from a recovery case, where an insurer seeks costs from a liable third party. It meets DPA 2018 & UK GDPR. anonym.plus works locally and keeps the liability facts intact.
When this applies
A recovery case names the policyholder, the third party, and the accident details. To study recovery rates or train staff, clear those IDs first.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Load the case into anonym.plus on your device.
- It finds the member, the third party, and their contacts.
- Accident dates and locations get flagged.
- Keep the liability facts and the cost summary.
- Swap or black out the confirmed IDs.
- Save the clean case on your machine.
What you need to provide
- The case file (PDF, DOCX, or bundle).
- An operator (Replace keeps the narrative readable).
- Optional alias map for the individual and third party.

Limitations & cautions
Recovery cases bundle legal notes, police data, and medical pages. Check that every page is scanned. An accident date plus a place is a strong clue, so broaden those where your study allows.
Frequently asked questions
Are third parties anonymised too?
Yes. The liable driver or party is a named item in the file, so it is flagged and swapped along with the member.
Will the liability facts stay usable?
Yes. The fault and cost summary stay. Only IDs change, so the case still serves analysis.
Can I clean a mixed bundle of pages?
Yes. Legal, police, and medical pages all work. Scanned pages are read with local OCR.
