Documents are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256) and permanently deleted from servers after redaction completes.

A free tier lets you start right away, with paid plans for higher monthly volume.

For small and mid-size businesses, paying for outside redaction services or dedicated privacy staff is often not realistic. Yet the FTC holds businesses to the same reasonable safeguard standard regardless of their budget, and a data breach brings notification duties, legal costs, and lost customers. Free automated redaction tools put basic data protection within reach of businesses without dedicated privacy teams. By enabling any business to strip personally identifiable information from documents before sharing, these tools help close the gap between regulatory expectations and small business resources, supporting data-minimization practices recommended by frameworks like the NIST Privacy Framework. According to Justee (justee.ai), personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before document text reaches an AI model (best-effort; if redaction is temporarily unavailable, a review may run without it, as Terms 8.5 explain), so always review the output before relying on it.

What We Redact

Full names, nicknames, and signature blocks detected and replaced with consistent person placeholders

Social Security numbers in standard and non-standard formats identified across all document sections

Business and personal email addresses along with phone numbers stripped from contracts and correspondence

Physical addresses including street, city, state, and zip code combinations redacted

Bank routing numbers, account numbers, and EINs removed from invoices and payment agreements

Risks of Sharing Unredacted Documents

Manual redaction of business documents takes staff time and is prone to human error and inconsistency

Unredacted documents shared with third parties create liability even if the sharing was unintentional

A single missed SSN in a shared document can trigger state breach notification obligations

Without a standardized redaction process, different employees apply different standards creating compliance gaps

Delaying redaction tool adoption increases cumulative exposure risk with every document shared externally

Illustrative Example

A real estate brokerage with 20 agents needed to share sample lease agreements with a franchise development consultant to standardize their templates. The broker emailed twelve active lease agreements, each containing tenant names, SSNs from credit check attachments, employer information, monthly income figures, and emergency contact details.

Issue Found: The twelve documents collectively contained over 180 PII elements including tenant SSNs, employer names, income verification data, personal references with phone numbers, and co-signer information spanning multiple individuals per lease.

Resolution: Using Justee's free tier, the office administrator redacted all twelve documents. The consultant received anonymized templates that preserved clause structure and formatting, with the detected tenant data replaced.

Lease Agreement PII Redaction Example

Why it matters: Tenant and emergency contact names, the SSN, employer, address, and contact details are replaced. The income figure stays because it matters for lease template analysis; remove it yourself if it should not be shared.

No credit card required

A note from Justee

Free does not mean inadequate. An automated tool that checks thirty-plus entity types runs the same checks on every page, which is hard to match in a quick manual pass. The key is consistency: every document gets the same level of scrutiny.

Important Legal Disclaimer

What Justee AI is — and what it is not. Justee AI is a software platform, not a law firm. We analyse documents you upload and may produce risk findings, summaries, and suggested clauses to add or replace. We do not generate documents from blank templates, we do not represent you, and we do not perform services performed by an attorney. Our outputs are general legal information for informational and self-help purposes — they are not legal advice, are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney, and are not an adequate substitute for human legal expertise.

No attorney in the loop. Justee AI is AI-powered. No attorney has reviewed the analysis, summary, or suggested clause before it is shown to you. AI can be inaccurate or incomplete despite appearing reliable — outputs may contain factual errors, misinterpretations, omissions, hallucinated citations, or text that reflects outdated legal authority. We strongly recommend that you have any output — including suggested clauses you might add to or substitute into a contract — reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction before you sign, send, or otherwise rely on it.

No attorney–client relationship. Use of Justee AI does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and Justee AI (First AI Corp.) or any of its personnel. Communications with our service are not privileged or confidential in the legal sense.
