Redaction that survives scrutiny

Permanently remove privileged names, PII and confidential data from discovery documents and filings — deleted from the file, not hidden behind a box.

The problem

Improperly redacted filings are a recurring source of leaks. A black rectangle drawn in a PDF editor leaves the text underneath intact, where opposing counsel, a journalist, or anyone with a copy of the file can recover it by selecting and pasting the page.

How we handle it

  • Text is removed from the PDF content stream, so it cannot be selected, searched or copied out of the filed document.
  • Scanned exhibits and photographed evidence are read with OCR so the pixels can be destroyed, not merely covered.
  • Your files are processed in memory and discarded within seconds — case material isn't retained on our servers.

What it detects

  • Party and witness names you specify, including middle names
  • Social Security numbers
  • Credit card and account numbers (checksum-validated)
  • Email addresses and phone numbers

Before you rely on it

Redaction is permanent and cannot be undone. Review every output before filing — automatic detection is a starting point, not a substitute for your own review.

Questions

Is the redaction actually permanent?

Yes. Text objects are removed from the content stream and, on scans, the original image is replaced with one whose pixels have been painted out. There is nothing underneath to recover.

Can it handle scanned exhibits?

Yes. Pages without a text layer are OCR-read to locate the text before the pixels are destroyed. This works on scans and on photographs of documents.

Do you keep our case files?

No. Documents are processed in memory and discarded within seconds. We don't store them or log their contents.

Try it on a document you've already redacted

Select the page, copy it, and paste it into a text editor. If the text is still there, it was never removed.
