Management-presentation redaction is the removal of PII from a sell-side pack. When the target is listed, everyone who receives the pack usually goes on the insider list that UK MAR Art. 18 requires, with their identity and contact details recorded. anonym.plus clears the named team and customers on your device while the strategy and metrics stay.
When this applies
A management pack names the team, key customers, and contacts across its slides. Passing inside information outside the normal exercise of employment is unlawful disclosure under UK MAR Art. 10, so both the circulation list and the content need control before the bidder list widens.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Load the pack into anonym.plus on your device.
- It scans slide text and speaker notes for names.
- Strategy, metrics, and charts stay in place.
- Swap or black out the confirmed PII.
- Save the clean file on your device.
What you need to provide
- The pack (PPTX, PDF, or export).
- An operator (Replace keeps the slides readable).
- Optional allow-list to keep brand terms.

Limitations & cautions
Redaction does not remove the insider-list duty. UK MAR Art. 18 still requires the issuer or its adviser to record who received inside information and when, in identified form. A customer logo image can also re-identify after the text goes, since graphics slip past a text scan.
Frequently asked questions
Are speaker notes checked?
Yes. The hidden notes are scanned along with the visible slide text.
Does this remove the need for an insider list?
No. Where a listed issuer is involved, UK MAR Art. 18 requires a list of everyone with access to inside information, kept with identifying details. Redacting the pack limits the personal data inside it, nothing more.
Does the strategy stay?
Yes. The plan, metrics, and charts stay. Only personal data changes.
