What's a redaction?
To redact is to blank out sensitive information in a document before it is disclosed. Redactions are often used in legal proceedings to show crucial documents to a jury as evidence, without compromising the PII or privilege of a client.
Redactions hide confidential data so you can still present the necessary data to support a case. Redactions can also highlight impactful areas of a document by removing a bulk of information that isn’t pertinent to a case.
In simple terms, redactions allow legal professionals to use documents which contain sensitive information as evidence.
