According to the Federal Trade Commission, identity theft affected over 1.4 million Americans in 2023, with many cases originating from personal information exposed in shared documents. The FTC recommends removing personally identifiable information before sharing documents digitally. Automated redaction tools can help individuals protect themselves by detecting and replacing sensitive data such as Social Security numbers, addresses, and financial account numbers. Justee provides a free, browser-based tool that identifies over 30 types of personal information and replaces them with semantic placeholders, helping everyday users safeguard their privacy without needing technical skills or expensive software. Files are encrypted during processing and deleted immediately afterward.

What We Redact

Completely free to use with no hidden fees, subscriptions, or account requirements for basic redaction

Automatically finds personal details you might miss when reviewing documents manually on your own

Risks of Sharing Unredacted Documents

Sharing unredacted documents online can expose your full name, address, and Social Security number to strangers

Identity thieves can use personal details from shared documents to open credit cards or loans in your name

Manually blacking out information with markers or digital tools often misses hidden text or metadata in files

Once personal information is shared online it can be nearly impossible to fully remove it from the internet

Employers, landlords, or other parties may store your unredacted documents indefinitely without your knowledge

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

A freelance graphic designer needed to share a past client contract as a portfolio reference with a prospective employer but the document contained her home address, phone number, and bank routing details for payment. The original contract was a 12-page services agreement with the designer's full personal and financial information embedded throughout payment and contact sections.

Issue Found: Justee identified 14 instances of personal information across the document, including two bank account numbers the designer had forgotten were included in the payment terms appendix.

Resolution: All personal details were replaced with semantic placeholders like [HOME_ADDRESS] and [BANK_ACCOUNT], allowing the designer to safely share the contract as a work sample without exposing private data.

Freelance Contract Before Sharing

Why it matters: Every piece of personal and financial information was replaced with a clear placeholder. The document remains readable and useful as a work sample, but no private details are exposed.

No credit card required

People often underestimate how much personal data is embedded in routine documents. A single contract can contain your address, bank details, email, and phone number — all of which are valuable to identity thieves. I always recommend redacting personal information before sharing any document outside its original purpose.
