Frequently asked questions
No. The redactor runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. The text you paste never leaves this page and is not sent to a server or stored anywhere.
It can find and redact email addresses, phone numbers, card-like number sequences, IPv4 addresses, and URLs. You can toggle each detector on or off and add your own custom words or phrases, such as names or company names.
No. Redacted characters are replaced with block characters, asterisks, or a [REDACTED] label in the output text, so the original characters are gone from what you copy. Always review the result before sharing — automatic detection is a helper, not a guarantee.
Not reliably. The built-in patterns cover common formats, but unusual phone formats, partial identifiers, or context-specific secrets may slip through. Use the custom-terms field for anything specific and always proofread the redacted output yourself.
