rendered illegible
I believe all these figures have been rendered illegible for confidentiality reasons.

: yes and no, because it says "geschwärzt" and not "unkenntlich/unleserlich"

: along with S. Grossman it is not rendered illegible but rather concealed to the reader. / Technically you are right but illegible sounds like it was legible before and due to ie.spilling cofee or bad printout it is "illegible". Not idiomatic.

If it's concealed to the reader, then it's illegible ;-)

: Geschwärzt used loosely is rendering illegible.

redacted
"Redacted" is the term used in law and business for concealing text for confidentiality and other reasons. I am sure of the answer as I work as a commercial lawyer in New York.
