AI-Powered Redaction That Thinks Like a Privacy Expert
Stop spending hours manually searching documents for sensitive data. Our AI redaction engine scans every page, identifies personally identifiable information, and applies permanent redactions in seconds — so you can protect privacy at scale without the guesswork.
Capabilities
Intelligent Redaction Capabilities
Our AI redaction engine goes far beyond simple keyword matching. It understands context, recognizes patterns, and adapts to your documents.
PII Detection
Automatically identifies names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, and other personally identifiable information across every page of your document. The AI understands that 'John Smith' in a header is a name, not a product label.
Pattern Recognition
Detects structured data like credit card numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, and account identifiers using advanced pattern matching that accounts for formatting variations — whether a phone number uses dashes, dots, or spaces.
Contextual Understanding
Goes beyond surface-level text matching by analyzing surrounding context. The AI distinguishes between a dollar amount in a public financial report and a salary figure in a confidential HR document, applying redactions only where privacy demands it.
Multi-Language Support
Identifies and redacts sensitive information in documents written in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and more. Language detection is automatic — simply upload your document and the AI adapts to the content language.
Confidence Scoring
Every detected item receives a confidence score so you can review borderline cases before finalizing. High-confidence detections are flagged for automatic redaction, while lower-confidence items are highlighted for your manual review.
Continuous Learning
Our models are regularly updated with the latest privacy patterns, emerging data formats, and new regulatory requirements. As identity fraud and data formats evolve, our detection engine evolves with them — keeping your redactions current.
Process
How AI Redaction Works
Upload Your Document
Drag and drop your PDF into the tool or click to browse. Files are encrypted during transfer and never stored permanently on our servers. Supports standard and scanned PDFs up to 100 MB.
AI Scans Every Page
Our machine-learning pipeline analyzes each page, running text extraction, entity recognition, and pattern detection simultaneously. The AI identifies all sensitive data types in a single pass, typically completing in under 2 seconds per page.
Review Detected Items
See every detected item highlighted directly on the document preview. Each detection includes a category label and confidence score. Accept all suggestions with one click, or fine-tune individual redactions before applying them.
Download Redacted PDF
Once confirmed, redactions are permanently burned into the PDF. The original text is irrecoverably removed — not just covered with a black box. Download your fully redacted document, ready for safe sharing or compliance filing.
