Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions
How accurate is AI detection?
Very accurate for standard PII types. We recommend reviewing AI findings before applying redactions to ensure nothing is missed or incorrectly flagged.
Can AI find names reliably?
AI identifies most names, especially in standard contexts. Names in unusual formats or non-English names may need manual review.
What patterns are detected?
SSNs, credit cards, phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, dates of birth, and common ID formats. Add custom patterns for specialized needs.
Is this GDPR compliant?
AI redaction helps achieve GDPR compliance by finding and permanently removing personal data. The redaction itself is GDPR-compliant.
Can I review before redacting?
Yes, all AI findings are shown for review. You approve what gets redacted before any permanent changes.
What about scanned documents?
AI first runs OCR on scanned documents, then performs sensitive data detection on the recognized text.
