Redact Phone Numbers and Emails from Documents Free

Backed by Microsoft For Startups
Guided by Grayver Law Group
AES-256 Encryption

Justee makes it simple to redact phone number and email from documents before sharing them with anyone. Your phone number and email address are gateways to your private life. They appear on nearly every document you sign — contracts, applications, medical forms, and insurance paperwork. When you share these documents, you are giving the recipient a direct line to contact you, spam you, or use your information for phishing attacks. Justee automatically finds and redacts these details along with over 30 other types of personal data.

Free and no sign-up required.

The Federal Trade Commission reports that phone-based and email-based scams are among the most common methods criminals use to target individuals, with exposed contact information often harvested from shared documents and online forms. The FTC recommends limiting the sharing of phone numbers and email addresses to reduce exposure to phishing, spam, and social engineering attacks. Even sharing contact details with legitimate parties creates risk, as those parties may suffer data breaches or share your information with third parties. Justee helps individuals protect their contact information by automatically scanning documents for phone numbers and email addresses in all common formats, along with over 30 other PII types. Each detected item is replaced with a semantic placeholder, and files are AES-256 encrypted and deleted after download.

What We Redact

Catches phone numbers in every format — international, domestic, with or without area codes, dashes, and parentheses

Detects email addresses anywhere in your document including signatures, headers, footers, and contact information blocks

Also finds 30+ other personal data types like SSNs and addresses that typically appear alongside phone and email info

Replaces contact details with clean placeholders so your document stays professional and the content remains clear

Free and instant with no sign-up and AES-256 encrypted processing with automatic file deletion after downloading

Risks of Sharing Unredacted Documents

Exposed phone numbers from shared documents are harvested for spam calls, text scams, and targeted phishing attacks

Email addresses from documents are added to marketing lists and used for credential stuffing and phishing campaigns

Once your phone number or email is exposed in a shared document you will receive unwanted contact indefinitely

Phishing attacks using your real name and phone number from a document you shared are far more convincing and dangerous

Contact information combined with other personal details from the same document creates a complete target profile

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

A job applicant needed to share a reference letter and previous employment contract with a recruiting agency, but both documents contained her personal phone number, email, and her references' contact details. The reference letter included the referee's phone and email in the letterhead, while the employment contract listed the applicant's personal phone, email, and emergency contact's phone number.

Issue Found: Justee detected 11 contact information items across both documents: the applicant's phone and email appearing three times each, the referee's phone and email, and the emergency contact's phone number.

Resolution: All phone numbers and email addresses were replaced with placeholders. The recruiting agency received documents proving qualifications and experience without gaining access to anyone's personal contact details.

Employment Documents for Recruiter

Why it matters: All phone numbers and email addresses for the applicant, reference, and emergency contact were redacted. The document still shows job details and qualifications clearly.

No credit card required

People rarely think about whose contact information is in their documents. A single employment contract can contain your phone number, your emergency contact's phone number, and your reference's email — all of which deserve protection when sharing documents with third parties you do not fully know.
