Fraud and identity theft are among the most common consumer complaints, and documents shared with personal details left in make both easier. Privacy guidance advises redacting 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 online alternative that automatically identifies over 30 types of personal information and replaces each instance with a descriptive semantic placeholder. Files are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), and originals are permanently deleted upon download, giving individuals a practical and secure way to protect their personal data. 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

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

Your document is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256) 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

Illustrative Example

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: The detected personal identifiers were replaced with placeholders while the financial figures needed for the mediation stayed visible.

Financial Disclosure for Mediation

Why it matters: Names, the SSN, the bank and account number, and the child's school and its address were replaced. Dollar amounts are not redacted, so the financial figures relevant to mediation stay visible.

No credit card required

A note from Justee

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.

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.

Consult a licensed attorney. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and the facts of your situation. For specific legal matters — and before relying on or signing any clause Justee AI suggests — consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.
