This redaction is the removal of personal data from an employer's reply to a discrimination claim under the Equality Act 2010. That Act covers less favourable treatment tied to a protected characteristic, often argued through comparators. anonym.plus marks names, contacts, and dates on your device, so the reply stays clear while non-parties are shielded.
When this applies
A reply cites comparators, managers, and colleagues by name to make a point. You hide those third-party identifiers before the answer leaves the building.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the reply in anonym.plus on your device.
- The app marks comparator and manager names.
- Built-in OCR reads scanned exhibits attached to it.
- Keep the claim reference and case caption.
- Swap or black out the confirmed identifiers.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The reply plus exhibits (PDF, DOCX, scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the answer readable).
- Optional allow-list for the claim reference.

Limitations & cautions
A reply about comparators can re-identify a colleague through a unique role or date. The app marks named items, not every indirect clue. Review the answer before you file it.
Frequently asked questions
Whose data should I strip from the reply?
Usually non-party colleagues and comparators named to make a point. anonym.plus marks them so you keep the argument while shielding people.
Will the claim reference survive?
Yes. Allow-list it so it stays. Only the personal identifiers in the body are marked for removal.
Is the answer sent to a server?
No. The app is offline, so the reply and its exhibits stay on your device.
