What types of sensitive information can the AI automatically redact?

The AI is pre-trained to identify and redact Personally Identifiable Information (PII) including Social Security Numbers, credit card details, phone numbers, email addresses, and proper names.

Does it just draw a black box over the text?

Unlike superficial tools that just cover text (which can be removed), our Smart Redact permanently sanitizes the document by removing the underlying text layer before applying the blackout box.

Can I specify custom terms to be redacted?

Yes, in addition to the automatic AI pattern recognition for PII, you can input specific keywords, project names, or company phrases that you want scrubbed from the document.
