Deposition transcripts present a unique PII challenge because they capture spontaneous spoken testimony that often includes personal details not found in prepared legal documents. Deponents may reference their home addresses, phone numbers, family members, employers, medical providers, financial details, and other identifying information in the course of answering questions. These details are preserved verbatim in the transcript, creating a document rich in PII that spans multiple categories. When attorneys use AI to analyze depositions — summarizing testimony, identifying inconsistencies, or preparing cross-examination outlines — all of this personal data is transmitted to the AI platform. Redacting PII from deposition transcripts before AI submission protects not just the deponent but also every third party referenced during testimony. Justee handles the complexity of transcript redaction by detecting PII in conversational text formats, replacing each identifier with a typed placeholder that maintains the testimonial structure and allows AI tools to perform useful analysis on the anonymized content.

What We Redact

Deponent names, addresses, and personal details replaced with structured [PERSON_N] placeholders

Third-party names mentioned during testimony — family, employers, doctors — all anonymized

Financial details discussed during depositions including income, assets, and debts redacted

Medical information referenced in personal injury or medical malpractice depositions stripped

Contact information including phone numbers and email addresses mentioned in testimony removed

Risks of Sharing Unredacted Documents

Depositions contain unscripted personal revelations that may include highly sensitive admissions

Witness credibility assessments based on personal details could be exposed to AI platforms

Third parties referenced in depositions did not consent to their information being shared with AI

Expert witness contact details and fee arrangements discussed in depositions are confidential

Video deposition transcripts may reference visual identifiers that text redaction alone cannot address

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

A product liability defense team had 12 plaintiff depositions totaling over 600 pages and wanted to use AI to identify common testimony patterns and potential inconsistencies across all deponents. The depositions contained plaintiff names, home addresses, employer details, treating physician names, pharmacy information, medical diagnoses, prescription details, and specific product purchase locations and dates.

Issue Found: Across 12 depositions, there were approximately 200 unique PII references to individuals, organizations, and personal details — creating massive exposure if the transcripts were uploaded to an AI platform unredacted.

Resolution: All 12 deposition transcripts were processed through Justee. Every plaintiff name, medical provider, employer, address, and personal detail was replaced with sequential placeholders. The AI then identified testimony patterns, contradictions, and key admissions across all depositions without accessing any real personal information.

Product Liability Deposition: Before vs. After Redaction

Why it matters: The deponent's identity, home address, physician name, hospital, office address, pharmacy location, and out-of-pocket costs are all replaced. The Q&A structure, testimony flow, and substantive content remain intact for AI cross-deposition analysis.

No credit card required

Depositions are where clients speak in their own words about the most personal details of their lives. Treating that testimony carelessly by sending it unredacted to an AI tool is a betrayal of the trust they placed in the legal process.
