Redaction
Quick answer
Removing or masking sensitive information, such as names, account numbers or addresses, from a record before it is shared.
Redaction can replace values with blanks, labels like [NAME] or consistent placeholders that keep records readable. It applies to text, scanned images, audio and video.
Automated tools catch most sensitive values, but human review of samples is standard because missed details in free text, attachments and images are common.
Why Redaction matters when licensing company data to AI
Redaction removes or masks sensitive information, such as names, account numbers or addresses, before a record is shared. Redacted values can be blanked, replaced with labels such as [NAME], or given consistent placeholders that keep records readable. Automated tools catch most sensitive values, but reviewers also check samples by hand, since details in free text, attachments and images are often missed.
