Redactic replaces names, tax codes, addresses and the other identifiers it detects with placeholders before the model receives your message, then puts the real values back in your browser. Detection and masking run in Europe on infrastructure Redactic controls, your files are not saved, and every Blackout removes the text beneath it instead of covering it.
Pleadings, contracts, judgments, powers of attorney, client correspondence and scanned exhibits, in PDF, Word, Excel or as images.
With Firm, every associate and member of staff writes to the Secure Chatbot with the client's real name and the facts of the matter, asks for a draft reply or a summary, and Redactic masks the personal data in every message before the model receives it. The answer comes back masked and each person's browser puts the real names back in. If masking is not available, the message is not sent.
The chat keeps no conversation on our servers, masking runs in Europe on infrastructure Redactic controls, and the people who manage your workspace decide who uses the chat and how much AI each person can use. Document redaction for up to 50 users is part of the same plan.
Working on your own? With Solo you have the same protection in the document chat: the file reaches the AI already masked, and the names you type in your questions are masked before they are sent.
Below is a fictitious settlement letter, as a firm would send it to the other side. Redactic finds the personal data, recognises the Italian tax codes and the IBAN by their check characters, and leaves the amount and the substance of the offer untouched.
| Field in the document | Type of data | How Redactic handles it | Check character verified |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elena Marchetti, Marco Conti | Person names | Recognised; with the party list, certain in every form, surname alone included | Not applicable |
| MRCLNE82E52F205I, CNTMRC79T18L219W | Italian tax code (codice fiscale) | Recognised | Yes |
| IT76W0306909606100000123456 | IBAN | Recognised | Yes |
| Via Solferino 32, 20121 Milano (MI) | Postal address | Recognised | Not applicable |
| [email protected] | E-mail address | Recognised | Not applicable |
| +39 02 8734 1190 | Phone number | Recognised | Not applicable |
| RG 4471/2026 | Case number | Masked with one click on the number, or added to your list | Not applicable |
| EUR 48,500.00 | Settlement amount | Kept | Not applicable |
Fictitious data. The amounts, the dates you need and the structure of the letter stay as they are.
Add a PDF, Word or Excel file, a scan or a photo, or paste the text. Add the names of the parties to the list, with a type if you want one (a company, for instance), and Redactic masks every one of them with certainty.
Each element is listed with its type. Redact all, keep all, or decide item by item, and click any word in the text to mask it as well. A surname or a first name on its own is linked to the same person.
Download the PDF with Blackout and the redaction certificate, ready to file or send. Or open the document chat and ask your questions with the parties' names as they appear in the file: Redactic masks them before sending, and the answer comes back with the real names on your device.
In the Secure Chatbot and in the document chat, Redactic masks the personal data it detects before the model receives the text, and the answer is restored in your browser. If masking is not available, nothing is sent.
The text under every black box is deleted from the PDF, so it cannot be selected, copied or recovered from the exported file. Scans and photos are read with OCR first.
Every name on your list is masked wherever it appears, and a surname or first name used on its own is linked to the same person, so a party cannot slip through in a shorter form.
The redaction certificate records the SHA-256 fingerprint of the file before and after, and how many items of each type were removed. It contains no content from the document, so you can keep it in the file or attach it.
Redacted Word files lose their comments, tracked changes and author details; PDFs lose author and XMP metadata; photos lose EXIF and GPS data.
Detection and redaction run in Europe on infrastructure Redactic controls, without third-party AI reading the unredacted text. Your files are not saved, and the data processing agreement under GDPR art. 28 is signed when you subscribe.
These are the rules your work answers to. Next to each one is what Redactic actually does, so you can judge for yourself how it fits your practice.
A lawyer keeps confidential everything learned in the course of professional activity and requires the same of everyone engaged in providing the service. With Redactic, the AI model receives placeholders in place of the client data Redactic detects, and the names on your party list never reach it in clear.
Your firm decides why and how client documents are processed; Redactic acts as your processor under a data processing agreement signed when you subscribe.
Article 32 names pseudonymisation among the measures for the security of processing. Redactic pseudonymises personal data before any AI step, runs detection in Europe and keeps neither your files nor your conversations.
Only the data a purpose needs should be processed. The AI receives the masked text, and the copies you share carry only the data you chose to keep.
Redactic describes what its tools do; the assessment of your own processing remains yours, with the support of the DPA and the Trust & Security page. Security
Yes. With Firm, the Secure Chatbot masks the personal data in every message before the model receives it, and your browser puts the names back in the answer. On every plan, the document chat masks the file before the AI sees it and masks the names you type in your questions too.
What matters is what the model receives. With Redactic the document is masked before any AI step: the model works on placeholders, and the real names return only in your browser. You keep a single tool for the whole firm, with access and AI quotas decided by whoever manages it.
Not on Redactic's servers. The Secure Chatbot keeps no conversation history, the conversation lives in your browser, and the map of placeholders is not retained between messages. The AI provider of the workflow you use receives only the masked text, under the terms set out in the DPA.
Yes, with Firm. The chat is open to everyone in the workspace or only to the people you choose, it can be switched off, and each person can have an AI quota.
No. The text under each black box is deleted from the exported PDF, not hidden behind it.
Yes. Every name on the list is masked with certainty wherever it appears, including when only the surname or the first name is used, and you can give each entry a type, such as a company.
