Does Redact for AI upload my text or files to any server?

No. All rule matching, PDF/Word extraction, and on-device name detection run locally in your browser using WebAssembly and Web Workers. Zero bytes of your content are uploaded.

What files and sensitive details does it support?

It reads text, PDF, Word (.docx), CSV, TSV, Markdown, JSON, log, XML, HTML, YAML, EML, SQL, and code files, and detects names, companies, addresses, emails, phone numbers, cards, bank and UPI IDs, Aadhaar, PAN, SSN, passwords, and API keys.

Can I get the original names and details back from the AI response?

Yes. Placeholder mappings stay only in your open browser tab's session storage. Paste the AI's reply back into Redact to restore the original values locally.
