How It Works

Detect. Review. Redact. Verify.

What you see is exactly what gets removed. Every file is re-scanned afterward, and anything that survived is quarantined.

Detect

Sensitive data is found three ways at once: pattern rules, a privacy-detection engine, and an AI model that reads context. Scanned and photographed pages are covered through built-in OCR.

WHAT IT FINDS

Names, SSNs and identifiers, financial and medical data, student records, and contact details.

ink_highlighter STAGE 02

Highlight review

Each finding appears as a yellow highlight over text that stays readable, and you confirm it in context. Nothing is removed at this stage.

YOU SEE

Exactly what will be removed, before anything is removed.

how_to_reg STAGE 03

Your approval

The AI can highlight, but it can’t redact. The document is held at the review screen until you sign off — you see every finding as a yellow highlight over still-visible text, keep what should go, clear what shouldn’t, and nothing becomes a black box without your explicit approval.

DEFENSIBILITY

Every redaction in the release was seen and approved by a person — you.

lock STAGE 04

Permanent redaction

On approval, the underlying text is permanently removed — not covered — and document metadata is stripped. The verify pass then re-scans the finished file to confirm every approved item is gone.

TRUE REMOVAL

The text layer is destroyed, not masked. Copy-paste recovers nothing.

fact_check The verify gate

If anything survives the re-scan, the file is held back.

After redaction, every file is re-extracted and re-scanned for sensitive data. If anything survived, the job is quarantined and blocked from delivery automatically — a leaking file can't go out by accident. Releasing one anyway takes a deliberate, logged override, so there's always a record of who did it.

From a real job (RDW-2026-131) on a 1-page sample with synthetic data — one finding can be redacted in more than one place.

document_scanner

Scans and images, covered.

OCR with preprocessing

Image-based PDFs and photographs are read with OCR and image cleanup, so redaction reaches text that lives inside a scan.

Vision fallback

When a page is too low-quality for confident OCR, a vision model takes a second look.
