Frequently asked questions
Are my files stored permanently?
No. Demo uploads are kept in memory only for the duration of the session and deleted afterwards. With the licensed on-premises edition, you decide on retention yourself.
Which personal data is detected automatically?
Email addresses, IBAN/BIC, phone numbers, postal addresses, personal names, dates of birth, ID and tax numbers as well as IP addresses. Custom terms and regex can be added.
Does redaction also work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. The built-in OCR (text recognition) processes scans and images, so embedded text can also be detected and redacted.
Can I use Docuflair Redact in my company?
Yes. A license is required for productive use with multi-user, full-text search, long-term archiving and audit logging. You can find details and pricing at docuflair.com/preise/schwaerzung.
Is redaction truly irreversible?
Correct. Unlike a black rectangle placed over the text, the original content is deleted from the file and replaced by the redaction pattern. Metadata and comments are cleaned up as well.
