Frequently asked questions

Why is this safer than a black box?
A drawn box leaves the data in the file beneath it; redaction removes the content under the area for good.
Can hidden content be recovered?
No — that is the point: data removed under the areas cannot be restored.
What should I redact first?
ID numbers, account numbers, tax IDs, signatures — anything the recipient should not see.
