Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our PII Redactor utility and how we handle your data.
What is a PII Redactor?
PII Redactor automatically detects and masks personally identifiable information — including email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, IP addresses, Social Security Numbers, and Bearer tokens — from logs, support tickets, and text payloads entirely in your browser. Accidental PII exposure in logs is one of the most common GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS compliance violations, typically caught too late when logs are shipped to third-party observability platforms. The tool lets you define custom regex redaction patterns alongside the built-in detectors, and shows a real-time side-by-side before/after preview so you can verify every redaction before copying the sanitized output. Used by security engineers sanitizing logs before sharing with vendors, support teams scrubbing tickets before escalation, and compliance teams preparing evidence for audits.
