Clean up text before you share it
It is easy to copy and paste text without noticing how much private information it still contains. A message, transcript, note, email draft, or support log can include names, contact details, financial information, internal references, or other details you did not intend to expose.
Privacy Redactor helps you catch those details before they are shared.
Use it to remove sensitive information from:
- emails and email drafts
- meeting notes
- support conversations
- copied chat messages
- interview transcripts
- reports and internal documents
- AI prompts and AI-generated text
- logs, snippets, and pasted text blocks
Why use Privacy Redactor?
Reduce mistakes
Private details are easy to miss, especially in long or messy text. Automatic detection helps you catch items that might otherwise slip through.
Keep control
You review the detections before copying the cleaned text, so you can decide what should stay and what should be removed.
Privacy-first by design
Your text is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent away for scanning.

Built for simple privacy workflows
Not every privacy task needs a complex compliance platform. Sometimes you just want to quickly clean up a piece of text before sending it, sharing it, or pasting it somewhere else.
Privacy Redactor is built for those everyday moments:
- before sharing a transcript
- before sending text to a colleague
- before uploading content into an AI tool
- before posting text online
- before reusing a real example in a document or presentation
Why local processing matters
When you work with sensitive text, privacy starts with where the processing happens.
Privacy Redactor runs entirely in your browser. That means your text stays on your device while you scan and redact it. There is no account, no server-side upload, and no need to send private content somewhere else just to clean it up.
That makes it a simple and privacy-focused way to prepare text for sharing.

Is the detection 100% accurate?
No automatic detection is perfect. Privacy Redactor is designed to help you find common sensitive information quickly, but you should always review the results before sharing important text.
