Arbitration transcript anonymisation is the removal of party and witness data from a private hearing record. The Arbitration Act 1996 frames the proceedings as a confidential forum. anonym.plus does this on your device, with no cloud step.
When this applies
The hearing is private, but you want to study or publish an award rationale. Anonymise the record first so no party or witness is named.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the record in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool finds party, witness, and counsel names.
- Swap each one for a non-reversible label for true anonymity.
- Keep no name map if you need the text fully anonymous.
- Save the clean record on your device.
What you need to provide
- The record (PDF, DOCX, or TXT).
- Replace, with the reversible map turned off for full anonymity.
- Optional language setting; the tool reads 48 languages.

Limitations & cautions
True anonymity is a high bar. If you keep a reversible map, the result is pseudonymous, not anonymous. A rare deal or sum can still hint at the parties, so weigh the residual risk first.
Frequently asked questions
Anonymous or pseudonymous — what is the difference?
Pseudonymous output keeps a key that can re-link it. Anonymous output drops that key for good. Only then is no party named at all.
Does it read many languages?
Yes. The tool reads 48 languages, which matters for cross-border matters.
Can I publish the anonymised record?
Once no party or witness can be identified, the text is no longer about named people. You must be sure the result cannot be reversed and holds no unique deal clue.
