What information can be redacted?

Text Redact can redact personally identifiable information (PII) including names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, social security numbers, and other sensitive personal data that could identify, contact, or locate a person.

How accurate is the AI detection?

Our AI model is highly accurate, detecting most common sensitive information types with high precision. However, we recommend reviewing the detected entities to ensure all sensitive information is properly redacted according to your needs.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No, your data is not stored. Your text is processed for redaction and immediately discarded afterward. We have a strict zero data retention policy - no logs, no copies, no storage.

Will my data be used for AI training?

Absolutely not. Text Redact uses enterprise AI with strict no-training policies. Your text is processed securely and immediately discarded after redaction - it is never used to train AI models.

Can I use this for GDPR compliance?

Yes, Text Redact is designed to help with GDPR compliance by removing personally identifiable information from documents and text before sharing or processing.

Can I use this for HIPAA compliance?

Yes, Text Redact can help anonymize healthcare records by removing patient information, making it useful for HIPAA-compliant document preparation.

How do I redact text before using ChatGPT or other AI?

Simply paste your text into Text Redact, click the Redact button, and copy the anonymized output. The redacted text reduces privacy risk by removing common PII before sharing with AI services.

2. How We Use Cookies

Text Redact uses a minimal number of cookies, primarily to enable core functionality. We categorise our cookies as follows:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These enable enhanced functionality like tracking your daily credit usage. Without these, certain features may not work properly.

5. Your Choices

5.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit Text Redact, you'll see a cookie consent banner with the following options:

Accept All: Enables all cookies, including functional cookies for credit tracking. Full service functionality is available.
Essential Only: Only essential cookies are used. The text redaction feature will be disabled as credit tracking requires functional cookies.

5.2 Browser Settings

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

6. Impact of Rejecting Cookies

⚠️ Important Notice

If you choose "Essential Only" or block functional cookies, the text redaction feature will be disabled. This is because we need to track your daily credit usage to provide free credits, and this requires functional cookies.

You can still browse the site and read information, but you won't be able to use the core redaction service until you accept functional cookies.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
