Upload any document — PDF, Word, image, or scan. AI detects personal data (names, addresses, IBANs, medical records, 50+ types) and you review every match before redaction. Metadata is stripped automatically. Unlike ChatGPT or US-hosted tools, Redacto never stores your documents, runs 100% in the EU, and generates a tamper-proof audit certificate with SHA-256 hashes for every redaction. Built-in DPIA dashboard. Import from Dropbox, Drive, OneDrive. Free to start — no credit card.




Hey everyone! I built Redacto to solve a problem I kept seeing — GDPR document redaction is either painfully manual or dangerously careless.
The manual way: open a PDF in Adobe, squint at every page, draw black boxes over names and addresses, hope you didn't miss anything. Takes hours. No audit trail. No proof.
The "just use ChatGPT" way: paste your document into an LLM and ask it to find personal data. Sounds smart — until you realize you just sent an unredacted employment contract, medical record, or passport to a US server with no DPA, no data retention guarantee, no audit certificate, and no way to prove what was actually redacted. You've solved a compliance problem by creating a bigger one.
Existing redaction tools: most are either US-hosted (your documents leave the EU), store your files indefinitely, or give you a redacted output with no verifiable proof that the original wasn't tampered with.
Redacto does it differently:
AI detects 50+ entity types across your document — but nothing is redacted until you review and approve every match. You stay in control.
Your documents are never stored. The original is deleted the moment redaction is complete.
Every redaction generates a tamper-proof certificate with SHA-256 integrity hashes — anyone can verify it independently at redacto.co/verify, no account needed. Try that with ChatGPT.
Hidden metadata most people forget about — author names, GPS coordinates, creation dates, camera model — is detected and stripped automatically.
The entire stack runs in the EU. Database, AI processing, OCR, file storage — nothing leaves European servers.
A built-in DPIA dashboard tracks what personal data you've processed, broken down by data subject category, with one-click PDF export for compliance documentation.
The difference in one sentence: ChatGPT gives you a best guess with zero accountability. Redacto gives you a verifiable, auditable, GDPR-compliant redaction with cryptographic proof.
Free to start — 4 pages/month, no credit card. Would love your feedback.
