Frequently Asked Questions
Why does in-browser redaction matter under the DPDP Act?
Redaction is usually done precisely because a document contains personal data. Uploading that unredacted document to a cloud redaction service transfers the very data you are trying to protect to another processor. In-browser redaction means the sensitive version never leaves your device - no transfer, no new processor.
What kinds of personal data can it detect?
Automatic detection covers India-specific identifiers like Aadhaar numbers (with checksum validation), PANs, and GSTINs, plus phone numbers, emails, and other common patterns. You review every match and can add manual redactions for names, addresses, or anything else.
Is the redaction truly irreversible?
Yes. The underlying text and image data in redacted regions is removed from the file, not merely covered - extraction tools and editors find nothing beneath the black boxes. This is the standard courts and regulators expect from redaction.
Does this make my organisation DPDP compliant?
No single tool can make you compliant, and we do not claim certification. What it does is eliminate one common risk: sharing documents with personal data still embedded, and transferring unredacted files to third-party servers during the redaction step itself.
