Amendment redaction is the removal of party PII from a change document under UK GDPR Recital 26. anonym.plus runs offline. It strips the names and signatories but keeps the revised clauses that the change introduces.

Limitations & cautions
Recitals often quote the parent agreement's parties and date, which re-introduce PII. Check those lines. To keep labels consistent, match them with the parent's map before you share both.
Frequently asked questions
Do the recitals get scanned?
Yes. Recitals that name the parent agreement are scanned too, so the parties' details there are flagged for removal.
Can labels match the original agreement?
Yes. Use the parent's map so one party keeps the same label across the agreement and its changes.
Are the revised clauses kept?
Yes. Only IDs change. The new and restated clauses stay word for word.
