Document Redactor is a web service for automating document redaction in DSAR responses and GDPR work.
What Document Redactor is
Document Redactor is a web service for automating document redaction in DSAR responses and GDPR work. It accepts PDF, DOC, DOCX, and ODT files, converting Office formats to PDF within its infrastructure. Its models are described as detecting 19 entity types across English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, and Italian. Users can review or toggle findings, search by category, draw manual redaction rectangles, and apply automatic profiles. Scanned PDFs and photographed paperwork are rotated and processed with OCR, while batch results can be downloaded as a ZIP. Anonymous users may preview detections without charge, but payment is required to download redacted files. The service is based in Ireland and uses EU data centres by default. LocalAI processing remains on the provider’s infrastructure; selecting Mistral sends extracted page text to Mistral’s EU-hosted API. Completed redactions are deleted after two hours, and inactive sessions after 24 hours.
