Expert-report redaction is the removal of personal data from a written report under CPR Part 35. The rule governs the expert's duties and what the document must contain. anonym.plus marks names, accounts, and contacts on your device, so the opinions and bases stay intact while the data goes.
When this applies
The opinion cites underlying data with people's identifiers and the expert's own details. You trim those before the Part 35 disclosure.

- The tool flags subject, expert, and third-party identifiers.
- Local OCR reads scanned data appendices.
- Keep the opinions, methods, and materials cited.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The written document (PDF, DOCX, or scan).

Limitations & cautions
CPR Part 35 requires the bases and data behind each opinion. Redact personal identifiers, not the substance the rule demands. The tool flags data; you keep what disclosure requires.
Frequently asked questions
What must the document include under CPR Part 35?
PD 35 requires the opinions, the bases and data, the materials relied on, and the expert's qualifications and declaration. Redact personal identifiers, not those parts.
Can I redact the expert's own contact details?
Yes. The tool flags the email and address along with subject data, so you can decide what to keep.
Is the file uploaded for processing?
No. Work runs on your device with no cloud step, so the analysis stays privileged.
