Life assurance beneficiary redaction is the removal of personal data from an expression of wish or death-in-service nomination tied to a scheme under the Pensions Act 2004 and the Pension Schemes Act 1993. anonym.plus marks each identifier on your device, so the form stays usable while private detail drops out.
When this applies

Limitations & cautions
A relationship plus a share can still hint at one family. The tool flags named items; it cannot judge every indirect link. Review the relationship lines before sharing the paperwork.
Frequently asked questions
Why redact an expression of wish?
It carries NI numbers and family data the scheme is expected to protect. Trimming identifiers before review limits who sees that detail.
Are nominee NI numbers flagged?
Yes. The tool flags each NI number and name, so you can mask them while the shares stay for an administrator.
Is the form sent to a server?
No. The app is fully offline, so the nomination stays on your machine.
