Redactic - document redaction and AI pseudonymisation
Computers / by Luca Ricatti / 9 views
Redactic is an online service from Trieste, Italy, that removes personal data from documents. It was built for European professionals who receive files full of other people’s details and need to share them, publish them or analyse them with artificial intelligence without breaking data protection rules.
The workflow is short. You upload a PDF, a Word document or an Excel sheet. Scanned papers and photos of documents work too, because Redactic runs optical character recognition before it looks for data. The engine then lists everything that identifies a person: first and last names, home and office addresses, dates of birth, Italian codice fiscale and other national tax numbers, IBANs and card numbers, passport and identity card numbers, phone numbers, email addresses and health information. Every item appears in a review panel, so you decide what stays and what goes.
There are two ways to finish. The first is a permanently redacted copy. Here the selected text is deleted from the file itself, so nobody can recover it by copying, searching or removing a black rectangle. The second is pseudonymisation for AI. Names and numbers are replaced by placeholders such as PERSON_1 or IBAN_2, you paste the result into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or another assistant, and when the answer comes back Redactic swaps the real values in again inside your browser. The AI provider only ever sees the placeholders.
Each export comes with a certificate that records which categories of data were removed and when, which helps when a client, a court or a supervisory authority asks how a document was handled. Processing runs on servers in the European Union, documents are never stored after the job and never used to train AI models, and a data processing agreement is included with every plan.
Law firms use Redactic to anonymise pleadings and judgments. Payroll and accounting offices use it on payslips and tax returns, estate agents on tenant files, psychologists and court experts on their reports, and data protection officers on access requests. Pricing starts with Solo at 19 euro per month, Firm costs 49 euro per month, and Enterprise is quoted on request with private cloud or on-premise options.
