According to the Federal Trade Commission, consumers filed over 5.4 million fraud and identity theft reports in 2023, with document-based data exposure contributing significantly to these incidents. The FTC advises individuals to redact personal information from documents before sharing them with third parties, particularly in digital formats where files can be easily copied and forwarded. Traditional methods like manually blacking out text are unreliable because they often leave extractable data underneath visual overlays. Justee offers a free, browser-based alternative that automatically identifies over 30 types of personal information and replaces each instance with a descriptive semantic placeholder. Files are encrypted with AES-256 during the entire process, and originals are permanently deleted upon download, giving individuals a practical and secure way to protect their personal data.

What We Redact

Free and online with no cost, no subscription, and no account creation — just upload and redact immediately

Automated detection catches personal information in unexpected places like document metadata and repeated references

Clean semantic placeholders produce professional results that look better than messy black boxes or deleted text

Works with common file formats including PDF and Word documents you already use for everyday personal paperwork

Enterprise-grade AES-256 encryption protects your document during processing with immediate deletion after download

Risks of Sharing Unredacted Documents

Documents shared without proper redaction permanently expose your personal information to unknown third parties online

Identity thieves specifically target shared documents because they often contain complete sets of personal data together

Black marker or highlight redaction on digital documents can be reversed by anyone with basic PDF editing tools

Personal information in document metadata is invisible to you during normal viewing but fully accessible to others

Each additional copy of an unredacted document multiplies the risk that your information will be compromised or stolen

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

A divorced parent needed to submit financial documents to a mediation service but was concerned about exposing her children's school information, her ex-spouse's details, and bank account numbers. The financial disclosure was a 20-page document with tax returns, bank statements, and a child support schedule listing children's names, school details, and custodial arrangements.

Issue Found: Justee detected 27 personal data items across the documents, including children's school names and addresses, the ex-spouse's SSN referenced in joint tax returns, and three separate bank account numbers.

Resolution: All personal identifiers were replaced with appropriate placeholders while preserving the financial figures needed for the mediation. Both parties' privacy was protected throughout the process.

Financial Disclosure for Mediation

Why it matters: All personal identifiers including children's school details and both parties' financial data were redacted. The financial figures relevant to mediation remain fully visible.

No credit card required

Financial disclosures during divorce or mediation often contain information about children that parents would never want shared publicly. School names, addresses, and custody schedules are deeply sensitive. Redaction protects your children as much as it protects you.
