RedactLocal

Use AI on Client Documents. Safely.

RedactLocal scans your legal documents for personal information, lets you review what it found, and pseudonymizes everything before you send anything to ChatGPT, Copilot, or any AI tool. All processing happens on your machine. Nothing leaves your desk.

How It Works

Three steps between your confidential document and a safe, AI-ready version.

1

Scan

Drop in any PDF, DOCX, or TXT file. RedactLocal identifies names, addresses, IDs, phone numbers, and 20+ entity types in seconds.

2

Review

See every detected entity. Correct labels, merge duplicates, accept or reject. You stay in control.

3

Pseudonymize and Export

One click replaces all PII with consistent pseudonyms. Export as TXT, PDF, or DOCX. Deanonymize anytime with your private mapping vault.

Why Lawyers Need This

Using AI without protecting client data isn't just risky. It may violate your professional obligations.

Data in ChatGPT is discoverable

After US v. Heppner, anything you paste into an AI tool can be requested in discovery. Pseudonymize first.

Your bar association expects safeguards

ABA Formal Opinion 512 requires reasonable measures when using AI. RedactLocal is the measure.

Privacy laws apply to your clients' data

CCPA, UK GDPR, Privacy Act 1988, PDPA, RA 10173. All require protection of personal data. Prove compliance with every scan.

100% offline. Zero trust required.

No cloud. No API calls. No vendor access to your documents. The safest AI tool is one that never sees your data.
