Is my data sent to the cloud?

No. RedactLocal processes everything on your local machine. No data is uploaded, transmitted, or stored on any external server. The app works fully offline.

What file types are supported?

PDF (including scanned/OCR), DOCX, TXT, MD, CSV, and XLSX files. These cover the vast majority of legal document formats, including spreadsheets and exported case data.

Can I reverse the pseudonymization?

Yes. RedactLocal maintains an encrypted mapping vault on your machine. You can deanonymize any document at any time using your private vault.

What jurisdictions are supported?

RedactLocal works with any English-language document regardless of jurisdiction. Full jurisdiction profiles are available for the US, UK, Australia, Singapore, and the Philippines, with more coming soon.

What is the difference between Free and Paid?

The free tier lets you scan documents and see what PII is present. Paid plans unlock pseudonymization, export, and the deanonymization vault.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only for license key activation and checking for updates. All document scanning, review, and pseudonymization works completely offline.

How accurate is the PII detection?

RedactLocal uses a combination of AI-based detection and pattern matching to detect 20+ entity types. The review step lets you verify and correct every detection before pseudonymization.

Don't put confidential client data into public AI. Remove it first.

RedactLocal replaces names, parties, and identifiers such as Tax File and Medicare numbers on your own machine before any AI sees them. The document never leaves your computer.

How It Works

Three steps between your confidential document and a safe, AI-ready version.

Scan

Drop in any PDF, DOCX, TXT, CSV, or XLSX file. RedactLocal identifies names, addresses, IDs, phone numbers, and 20+ entity types in seconds.

Review

See every detected entity. Correct labels, merge duplicates, accept or reject. You stay in control.

Pseudonymize And Export

One click replaces all PII with consistent pseudonyms. Export as TXT, PDF, DOCX, CSV, or XLSX. Deanonymize anytime with your private mapping vault.

Built For Trust

Security is not a feature. It is the architecture.

Your Documents Stay Local

All document processing runs on your desktop. No files, text, or entity data are transmitted to any server. The only network calls are license activation and update checks.

AES-256 Encrypted Vault

The mapping between original names and pseudonyms is stored in an AES-256-GCM encrypted vault on your machine. Only you can deanonymize your documents.

Full Audit Trail

Every scan, pseudonymization, and deanonymization is logged locally. Generate compliance reports for internal governance or regulatory review.

Australia FAQ

The Uniform Law regulators' joint statement asks lawyers not to enter confidential, sensitive, or privileged client information into public AI tools, to provide independent advice, and to verify AI-assisted work.

Yes. Reforms since 2024 added a statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy, higher penalty tiers, and automated-decision transparency from December 2026. From July 2026, more small firms fall within the Act.
