The Federal Trade Commission advises consumers to share personal information on a need-to-know basis, recommending that individuals review documents for sensitive data before transmitting them electronically. Research from the Identity Theft Resource Center shows that document-based data exposure is a leading cause of targeted identity theft, with victims often unaware that a shared document contained exploitable information. Common sources of accidental exposure include tax forms, insurance policies, medical records, and employment contracts. Justee provides a free solution for scanning PDFs for over 30 types of sensitive information and replacing each instance with a descriptive placeholder. The tool uses AES-256 encryption during processing and permanently deletes uploaded files upon download, aligning with consumer privacy best practices promoted by federal agencies.

What We Redact

Catches sensitive information you would overlook when quickly reviewing a document before sending it to someone

Prevents accidental exposure of SSNs, bank accounts, and medical details when sharing documents for unrelated purposes

Produces readable, professional documents with placeholders instead of distracting black bars or deleted sections

Works instantly in your browser with no software to install, no account to create, and no cost for basic use

AES-256 encryption and immediate file deletion ensure your sensitive data is protected throughout the entire process

Risks of Sharing Unredacted Documents

Sharing PDFs without reviewing them first is the most common way people accidentally expose sensitive personal data

Recipients may forward your document to others, multiplying the exposure of any sensitive information it contains

Tax forms shared with financial advisors often contain SSNs and bank details that the advisor does not actually need

Medical documents shared for insurance purposes may contain diagnoses and treatment details beyond what is required

Once sensitive information is shared electronically you cannot control who sees it or how long it is stored anywhere

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

A patient needed to send medical records to a new doctor's office but wanted to remove insurance policy details, SSN, and employer health plan information that were not relevant to the clinical transfer. The medical record PDF was 30 pages containing patient demographics, insurance information, clinical notes, and billing records with SSN and employer details on the intake forms.

Issue Found: Justee identified 24 sensitive data items including the patient's SSN on the intake form, employer name and address in the insurance section, and spouse's name and date of birth on the family history page.

Resolution: All non-clinical personal data was redacted with placeholders. The new doctor received complete medical history and clinical notes without the patient's SSN, financial data, or employer information.

Medical Records Transfer

Why it matters: The patient's SSN, employer details, insurance specifics, and spouse information were all redacted. Clinical data needed by the new doctor remains untouched and fully accessible.

No credit card required

Medical records contain far more than just health information. They include SSNs, insurance details, employer information, and family member data. When transferring records, always redact the non-clinical data that your new provider does not actually need.
