1. Introduction
Private Redact (“the Site”, “we”, “our”, “us”) is an online PII redaction tool designed with a strict privacy-first approach. We do not use AI, do not store user data, and do not upload any content to servers. All redaction processing happens locally on your device.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and how we protect your privacy.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Private Redact is intentionally built to avoid collecting or storing personal information. Specifically:
- We do not collect, store, or process any text, documents, or data you paste into the tool.
- We do not upload any user content to servers.
- We do not use AI models that send data to external systems.
- We do not create logs of user-provided content.
- We do not retain any redacted or original text.
All redaction occurs client-side, within your browser.
