GEDClean http://www.raynorshyn.com/gedclean/
GEDClean helps automate the process of "cleaning" the personal information about
living individuals from a GEDCOM file containing genealogical data. Why Would
You Want To Use GEDClean32? If you share genealogical data with other people,
you very often save it in GEDCOM format so that other people or programs can use
it. But if you are sharing it with strangers, especially if you are putting it
on the web, you will probably make your living relatives very unhappy if you
include personal details about them. So, you need a way to "clean" all that
personal data out of your GEDCOM file before you send it or convert it to HTML.

GEDPrivy http://hometown.aol.com/gedprivy/index.html
A program to create privacy for data in genealogy files (GEDCOMs).

Res Privata http://www.ozemail.com.au/~naibor/rpriv.html
An application for filtering private data from your genealogy database (GEDCOM
or GED) files. Using Res Privata, you can filter the details of your original
GED file and create a new file ready for sharing with other genealogists or
publishing on the Internet. It gives you control over exactly what birth, death,
marriage and adoption details are removed. With the ability to remove all
references to sensitive information, including unused GEDCOM tags, Res Privata
gives you complete control over privacy. Res Privata is available free of charge
for use by students, private individuals, and employees of charitable non-profit
organisations. A small license fee is payable for any commercial or corporate
use.
